Pitt faced Clemson at Littlejohn Coliseum on Saturday night looking to bounce back from a tough 66-61 loss to Virginia on Wednesday. However, the Panthers proved unequal to the task of taking down the Tigers, and they were dealt a disheartening 75-48 defeat.
The opening half saw streaky performances by both teams, as Clemson, led by P.J. Hall, shot out to an early 12-5 lead less than five minutes into the game, and four minutes later, Pitt had nearly evened the score, making it 15-14. However, both teams stagnated after that, and at the midway point of the half, the score was 17-16, with the Panthers trailing the Tigers.
