PITTSBURGH — The Petersen Events Center was a house of horrors for Louisville men's basketball last go-around.
The Cardinals' 34-point loss to Pittsburgh there on Feb. 7, 2023, still stands as the most-lopsided blowout of the Kenny Payne era. A real burn-the-tape moment for a head coach who's had plenty of them at the helm of his alma mater.
"I'm trying to forget about last year's game," Payne said Friday. "There's not much good that'll be in that."
U of L (8-17, 3-11 ACC) wasn't a whole lot better the last time it played the Panthers (16-8, 7-6). It trailed for all but 48 seconds and suffered the 24th double-digit loss of Payne's tenure, 83-70, on Jan. 6 at the KFC Yum! Center.
Will anything change when the teams square off this evening in the Steel City?
Pitt enters the weekend in a four-way tie for fifth place in the ACC. The Panthers have won four in a row, most recently a 74-63 victory at Virginia on Tuesday — during which they made 14 3-pointers.
A victory over the Cards would give coach Jeff Capel's team its longest winning streak of the season.
"I think they have a swag," Payne said. "I think they have the belief factor — that they belong, and what I mean by (that) is they belong in the upper echelon of this conference. So it's not going to be easy."
