There was no letdown for Pitt (25-2, 12-2 Big East) after Monday's impressive road victory over top-ranked UConn. The Panthers will likely garner consideration for a No. 1 ranking next week thanks to No. 3 North Carolina's overtime loss at Maryland on Saturday.

Pitt knocked off a No. 1-ranked team for the first time in school history in its 14th attempt and bested UConn in such a matchup after failing in three previous tries.

As for UConn, it has won its last 13 games, as the lone loss for the club occurred against Georgetown back in December.

It was the Cardinals' worst loss in eight years and their second in three games, dropping them behind UConn in the league standings at 9-2. The good news though, is Louisville gets to rebound against DePaul, the lone team in the Big East without a win. The Blue Demons have dropped their last 12 outings, all in league play, and haven't won since capturi |
