Pitt had a tough task in defeating Syracuse for a third consecutive time this season on Wednesday in the team's ACC Tournament opener. Things get ratcheted up a notch with today's game against the North Carolina Tar Heels.
The Tar Heels come into the game as a top ten team in the nation and as the top seed in the tournament. In the latest matchup of these two teams this year, Pitt was outclassed in an ugly 21-point loss.
Things may not be all that different this time around, but as they did against Syracuse, the Panthers actually have some good recent history in facing the Tar Heels.
