Louisville registered assists on 17 of their first 21 baskets in their Saturday win against Syracuse. The Cardinals finished with 20 assists on just 10 turnovers.

Unlike past seasons, Louisville doesn't possess an NBA prospect. There were 11 NBA executive in attendance, but they were all scouting players from Syracuse.

Louisville doesn't have a top-10 scorer in the Big East, or in the top-20 in rebounding.

“It just shouts out at you that they're playing for Louisville,” Pitino said. “They don't care about themselves.”

Louisville is tied for third place in the Big East.
