When they finally met up on the court, things went as expected; freshman Scottie Barnes once again made a few breathtaking plays, and Pitt forward Justin Champagnie had another stellar outing.
Most importantly, FSU downed the Panthers 79-72, maintaining their top position in the ACC standings. In a back-and-forth battle, the Seminoles led by single-digits for most of the game, but Pitt failed to make up their deficit from early in the first half.
