Pitt basketball had lost three games by a single point over the past month and a half and its most recent loss to Louisville came with Jamarius Burton missing a 3-pointer at the buzzer to tie the game. Jeff Capel's young Panthers had struggled with closing out opponents, but Saturday, they held on to come out on top.
Pitt got its first ACC win over Boston College Saturday, winning 69-67 at the Petersen Events Center. The win stopped a two-game losing streak for the Panthers and moved the team to 6-9, with a 1-3 conference record.
