The Pitt men’s basketball team travels to face Northwestern tonight. The game is part of the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. It is a rematch of sorts — last year, Pitt beat Northwestern in the event, 72-59. But that game wasn’t in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. Instead, it was the final game of the Fort Myers Tip-Off.
The game will be a good benchmark for both teams. Neither has faced a quality opponent yet and it’s going to be a nice way to challenge themselves prior to conference play. Pitt, of course, got more than a challenge in an upset loss to St.
