The Catamounts nearly pulled off the upset. Standings, links and game times can now be found under ACC At A Glance.
In the last three games before Christmas, Louisville smoked Utah Valley by a cool 30, Georgia Tech beat Colgate 76-60 and Pitt survived Western Carolina 79-73.
Wait, what? How did that happen?
Well in fairness to Pitt, it is a holiday/exam break game, and everyone has ragged practices and your attention can certainly wander during the holidays.
But still...Western Carolina? At home?
Good thing for the Panthers that Jamel Artis showed up. Artis had 29 points, eight rebounds and four assists and he was the man down the stretch.
