Pitt out of ACC Tournament with loss to North Carolina

After defeating Syracuse in the opening round of the ACC Tournament, Pitt's basketball team couldn't find another win, losing to North Carolina on Thursday, 88-71.

If you watched the game or followed along online, you know that the final score wasn't entirely indicative of how things were. The Panthers kept things much closer and faded late.

For Pitt, it was a better showing than the game earlier than this season, even if the score doesn't reflect that. Pitt raced out to an 8-0 start and led for most of the first half. North Carolina held a four-point lead at the break, but the Panthers came right back to tie it up around the 16-minute mark in the second half.
