Louisville basketball ACC streak continues: Cards escape Pitt with key NCAA Tournament win
Louisville coach Pat Kelsey talks recruiting of Mikel Brown Jr.
Mikel Brown Jr.announced his signing with Louisville basketball. Hear what coach Pat Kelsey had to say about the Cardinals’ newest addition.
PITTSBURGH — Pat Kelsey’s inaugural Louisville basketball team has made a habit of putting its best foot forward during winning time.
The Cardinals (12-5, 5-1 ACC) did just that to escape Pittsburgh (12-4, 3-2) on Saturday with their sixth consecutive victory — this one of the Quad 1 variety.
Trailing 52-47 with 12:21 remaining in regulation and the Panthers on an 18-7 run that brought the Petersen Events Center to life, U of L won the stretch, 35-26, thanks in large part to Reyne Smith scoring 16 of his game-high 25 points during it.
Louisville snapped a five-game losing streak to Pitt with the W — its first in the Steel City since Dec. 22, 2020 — and ended the Panthers’ 15-game home winning streak in the process. The Cards had lost three in a row here by an average of 24.3 points.
Louisville will be back on the road for its next game, a 7 p.m. tipoff Tuesday at Syracuse.
