Pitt hosted Miami for an ACC tilt at the Petersen Events Center on Tuesday night, and despite their recent success, the Panthers headed into the matchup as four-point underdogs. As it turned out, oddsmakers foresaw the right outcome but were overly optimistic about Pitt’s abilities, as the Panthers were routed by the Hurricanes 85-64.
Miami opened the scoring in the contest with a three-point bucket by Charlie Moore, and from there, the Hurricanes would go on a 14-2 run, establishing their dominance early. The Panthers would respond with a 10-0 run to make it 14-12 and re-insert themselves into the game.
