As they have at various times in ACC play, the Pitt men’s basketball team kept things close for much of the game. Similarly, they fell apart at the end only to keep their winless ACC streak going in an 88-75 loss.
Pitt (8-20) held a lead for a good part of the first half and took a one-point lead into halftime. But they were also going up against a team without two of its best players. Terance Mann, Florida State’s (19-8) leading scorer, along with Braian Angola (the third-leading scorer), sat out the first half with no real explanation.
