Pitt squared off with Boston College at the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn on Tuesday in the first round of the ACC tournament. The game pitted two teams on equally poor footing against each other, with both in search of redemption after poor regular seasons. With that said, redemption would elude Pitt, as the team fell to Boston College 66-46, bringing the season to an end after 32 games.
With Tuesday’s matchup being the third between Pitt and Boston College this season, a model for success existed in the team’s 69-67 win over the Eagles on Jan. 8. That model involved getting the ball to John Hugley early and often, and the Panthers appeared content to utilize that strategy early on, as Hugley scored Pitt’s first six points of the game.
