Pittsburgh has held somewhat of a hex on the Irish when it comes to basketball. The Panthers have won five straight against Notre Dame and if that streak goes to six; the homecourt winning streak will end at 34.
Pitt stands 7-5 in the league while ND is 9-3 and will reach the 20-win mark with a victory.
The greatest player in the history of the Irish hoops program will be honored at halftime as the great Austin Carr will be recognized.
