Two teams that have drifted far from their expectations gather in the final week of the regular season when Pitt goes to North Carolina State on Wednesday night in Raleigh, N.C. Pitt looked like a potential NCAA Tournament team a couple of months ago. NC State is the reigning Atlantic Coast Conference tournament champion. "They've had some ups and downs pretty much like every team does throughout a season," NC State coach Kevin Keatts said of the Panthers. Pitt (16-13, 7-11 ACC) could still rise to a ninth-place spot in the conference standings, providing for a first-day bye in the league tournament next week.
