Pitt headed down to Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Winston-Salem on Wednesday night to take on Wake Forest in an ACC tilt. The Panthers came into the matchup as 12.5-point underdogs, but the oddsmakers proved to be overly optimistic from Pitt’s standpoint, as the Demon Deacons pummeled the Panthers thoroughly, winning 91-75.
The dominance of Wake Forest was on display early, as the Demon Deacons simply could not miss from beyond the arc and made the most out of just about every trip down the floor during the first five minutes of the game. Meanwhile, the Panthers were only able to score about once every two minutes, and as a result, they found themselves trailing the Deacons 19-6 after a made three-pointer by Jake LaRavia at the 14:52 mark.
