After a win against Georgia Tech this weekend, the Panthers will look to keep some momentum going against North Carolina on Saturday.
Pitt fans know the Tar Heels have had the program’s number. Since the Panthers got into the ACC, they’ve not yet been able to defeat North Carolina. The games have mostly been pretty competitive (particularly in the last two years when Pitt has lost by a combined four points) but Pitt is 0-5 against the Tar Heels since joining the conference.
Last year’s game was especially frustrating. North Carolina was, in a word, bad. They were only 3-9 on the season and their only other two wins came against Old Dominion and Western Carolina.
