CARDS 2-2 IN LAST FOUR VISITS TO PITT
Normally, when a 18-6, 10-1 squad goes to visit a 10-13, 2-8 team, there isn't a whole lot of worry or concern. That's not the case this evening, though, when Louisville goes to play Pittsburgh in women's basketball at the Peterson Center tonight.
The Cards have traveled to the Steel City four times under the Jeff Walz regime and have a 2-2 record. All four have been games that could have gone either way. In the 2014-15 season, Louisville escaped with a 63-57 win after trailing by 10 in the first half. Jude Schimmel led the way with 11 points. UofL visited "The Hill" in the 2011-12 season and went to over-time against the Panthers before leaving with a 71-66 victory . The Panthers led by seven with five minutes to go. It was Shoni Schimmel who bailed the Cards out that night with 16 points. The Cards lost to Pittsburgh in 2010 by a final tally of 72-69 and Pitt beat Louisville 76-67 in Walz's first season.


The Cards will need to rally from the loss Sunday to Notre Dame and be wary of the shot-blocking skills Pitt exhibits. The Panthers are 10th in the nation (130) in blocks.

It is an ESPN 3 game (7 p.m. start) and Meg Bulger will have the call, along with Jeff Hathorn. If Meg sounds familiar...she was the Cards nemesis when she played hoops for West Virginia from 2005-08. Last year she did color commentary for the Mountaineers on the radio. Talk about walking on the wild side...we were surfing for some player-action photos of Meg and came across this "promo" for...well....we're really not sure what Meg (on the right) is trying to promote here...but we're pretty sure it's not tonight's broadcast of the basketball game on ESPN 3.
Oh, boy...
