The Pitt men’s basketball team faces Duke tonight in a key ACC matchup on ESPN.
The Panthers (7-2) come into the game on a bit of a roll. Since losing their season opener to St. Francis, the Panthers have won seven of their eight games with a sole loss coming to a quality Louisville team. That first loss was a real downer but, so far, I think the team has probably slightly exceeded expectations. They won their ACC-B1G Challenge game against Northwestern and are 3-1 in the ACC with a season sweep of Syracuse.
The Duke name will almost always strike some fear into the hearts opponents.
