It's safe to say that ESPN probably didn't have this in mind when it scheduled Pitt's game against Louisville for GameDay at the Pete on January 21.
↵Pitt is mired deep in a losing streak and heading into this weekend, has yet to win a Big East game. The Cardinals had been faring much better, but have now lost four of their past five games. With a loss to Providence this week, the Cardinals may even fall out of the Top 25 rankings next week.
↵Nevertheless, GameDay is still coming to Oakland and here are some details. Gates will open at 8:30 a.m. and ESPNU will begin its telecast at 10:00 AM ESPN will then take over the broadcast at 11:00 a.m. State Farm is sponsoring a half-court shot contest at 11:50 AM and then at 2:00 PM, Pitt's women's team will take on West Virginia. A pair of tickets to the Louisville game and some other prizes will also be given away.
↵Pitt and Louisville will tip off at 9:00 PM later that night.
