Pitt dropped what appeared to be its best chance at a conference win on Wednesday night, as Wake Forest visited the Petersen Events Center and escaped with a 63-57 victory. With the loss, the Panthers fell to 0-16 in the ACC and are now running out of opportunities to notch a win, as only No. 1 Virginia and Notre Dame remain on the schedule.
With the end of the regular season approaching and the team apparently unable to pull itself out of a winless downward spiral that started on Dec. 30, Pitt head coach Kevin Stallings has come under increased scrutiny, as members of the local and national media have been speculating that his time in Pittsburgh may soon be coming to a close.
