A win, coupled with a Pitt victory over  Connecticut, would give the Cardinals the title outright.

If the stakes are not already raised enough, winning the conference could very well earn the champ a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tourney.

The Cardinals have played like the road is their home in the conference this season, and are nearly perfect against unranked conference teams in recent years. Louisville has won 16 of its last 17 games against unranked conference opponents. West Virginia comes into the contest unranked, but can't be overlooked with a record of 21-9.

The Cardinals are 7-1 against Big East teams this season, with the only upset being a loss at Notre Dame.
Can the Mountaineers pull off the upset in their final regular season game on Senior Day?
