Pitt dropped two more games to slide to 12-11 and 1-9 in the ACC. The two losses were on Tobacco Road with one at Chapel Hill and one to Duke. The Panthers at least gave a solid effort in both games and that includes big man Mike Young, who seems to be adjusting better and better to his mask. The senior is our Panther of the Week.
Fellow senior Jamel Artis had a strong week as well and Cam Johnson was on fire at North Carolina and actually had a very strong defensive effort Saturday at Duke. Unfortunately, Cam couldn’t muster more than three points against Duke and it hurt Pitt, in the end.
