PITTSBURGH -- The Louisville Cardinals will be down a couple of key players as they take on the Pitt Panthers at the Petersen Events Center this weekend. 

Pitt, who sits on the NCAA Tournament bubble and needs to keep stacking wins to keep their postseason hopes alive, will have the good fortune of facing the Cardinals as they sit Skyy Clark and Ty-Laur Johnson, who are both dealing with injuries according to Eric Crawford of WDRB in Louisville, Kentucky.  

Clark has starred 22 of 23 games he's appeared in this season and is second on the team in scoring at 13.1 points per game. The Illinois transfer is adding 2.9 assists and 3.1 rebounds per game as well. 

Johnson comes off the bench primarily but has started seven games as well. He's averaging nine points per game and leads the team in assists at 3.9 per contest. 

The Panthers were already heavy favorites coming into this game but with the Cardinals missing two of their best playmakers, the home team's job is just a little bit easier.
