Pitt was in today’s game with NC State the entire way and the winner was not determined until the final minute. Unfortunately, the Panthers were unable to come out on the winning side of this matchup, losing 74-73 and dropping to 9-8 (5-7 ACC).
Down three with 23 seconds remaining, Justin Champagnie converted two free throws to cut the gap to one. After a traveling violation was called on the inbounds play, Pitt had a chance to take the lead. But subsequent shots were missed by Au’Diese Toney and Champagnie as time ran out.
The Panthers put up a fight through the entire game and continued to show that they are a competitive team in the ACC.
