The Panthers looked to have everything they needed for an easy win against the 3–6 Wake Forest Demon Deacons. This however would not be the case and the Panthers would lose a nail biter, 76-75.
This game was a back-and-forth game that came down to the final possession by Pitt. With 5.3 seconds left to play in the second half, the Panthers had the opportunity to win the game. However, Xavier Johnson missed a final jump shot as time expired. This loss brings the Panthers’ record to 8-3 (4–2 ACC) and gave the Demon Deacons their first win in the ACC this season.
