Pat Kelsey Expects a ‘Dangerous Team’ in Louisville vs. Pittsburgh Game
Louisville men’s basketball program will kick off a three-game homestand to wrap up the regular season. The first game is against Pittsburg on Saturday evening, and first-year head coach Pat Kelsey expects a dangerous team in the visitors.
“I see a very, very, very dangerous team,” Kelsey said of Pitt. “I see a team that scares the crap out of me. I see a team that we got to be on it every facet of our defensive system. I see a team that we got to execute our stuff, because they are athletic, they’re well coached, and they’re tough. I don’t pay attention to what anybody’s record is.”
