Louisville guard Donovan Mitchell says the players are not concerned about the NCAA investigation of the sex scandal at the school and will use it and last year's postseason ban as motivation to achieve big things this season.

The NCAA last week said the program committed four major violations and the governing body criticized coach Rick Pitino for failing to monitor former Cardinals staffer Andre McGee, whom the NCAA says provided improper benefits to recruits and players by hiring escorts and strippers.

Mitchell said Wednesday at the ACC's men's basketball media day in Charlotte that it hurt watching other teams and players he knew play in the NCAA Tournament while Louisville, which went 23-8 and finished fourth in the ACC, sat home.
