Earlier this week, I wrote about Pitt needing to keep their foot on the pedal, so to speak, and avoid letdowns against Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech to close out the regular season.
Seems the Panthers didn't get the memo.
Pitt's latest disappointment came at the hands of a now 17-13 Virginia Tech team as the Panthers fell 65-61 on the road on Wednesday.
Here's the thing. A Pitt loss against a Hokies team that played out of their minds would have been salvageable. Few would scold the Panthers too much for losing a road game against a conference opponent that played well.
