Despite Duke win, Pitt cannot afford to let up in remaining games

On Sunday, the Pitt basketball team pulled off the huge upset that had been missing from their resume with an impressive double-digit victory against No. 15 Duke. Despite the big win that should get the team into the NCAA Tournament, the Panthers can't afford to let up the rest of the way.

Next up for Pitt is a road game with Virginia Tech. The Hokies aren't a great team, but at 16-13 and on the road, may not be a pushover. Pitt easily defeated them earlier this year by 19 points, but that was at home and in a game where they couldn't do much wrong offensively, shooting 53% from the field and turning the ball over a manageable nine times.
