After a somewhat disappointing regular season that saw the Panthers again finish under .500, the team is headed to the ACC Tournament this week.
Pitt (10-11) enters the field as the No. 12 seed and gets an opening-round game against Miami (8-16) on Tuesday at 2:00 p.m.
The two teams met once this year — in the Panthers’ ACC opener when Pitt won a 70-55 game. Miami, if you recall, had only seven players in that game and has been decimated by injuries. I haven’t been keeping up with the Hurricanes much since then but they’ve been shorthanded all year.
