The Pitt Panthers begin the second half of the ACC season tomorrow night with a visit to North Carolina, a team the Panthers beat, 76-74, in Pittsburgh on December 30th. Pitt is 15-7, and at 8-3 is third in the ACC. The Tar Heels, the preseason number one team in the nation, are 15-6 and 7-3, a half-game behind Pitt in the standings.
Pitt coach Jeff Capel says the nightly battle in the ACC is rugged.
The Panthers have enjoyed a relatively smooth season after several years of turmoil in the program. Capel says it’s a very close group, and he admires their determination, which he sees every day after practice when most of the players hang around and put in extra work.
Pitt/Carolina will be heard on WCCS tomorrow night, with the pregame at 6:30.
