MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia looks to keep its Big East title hopes alive Saturday afternoon in Louisville, Ky., when the Mountaineers take on Louisville in a noon game at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium.

Louisville, 5-5, 2-3, is coming off a 24-12 overtime home loss to South Florida last weekend and needs at least one more victory against West Virginia on Saturday or at Rutgers next week to become bowl eligible.

The Mountaineers still have a shot at winning a share of the Big East title if they can win their remaining games against Louisville, Pitt and Rutgers. West Virginia had its best offensive performance of the season last Saturday against Cincinnati in a 37-10 victory.

Saturday’s game is the final home game for 24 Louisville seniors. The Big East Network (Mike Gleason, John Congemi and Eamon McAnaney) will televise the game. MSN’s radio coverage begins with the Mountaineers Today at 11 a.m.
