BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Whistles were on the menu for Saturday's game at Cassell Coliseum.
It made for an all-around eye-sore basketball game which resulted in a combined 44 fouls and 20 turnovers, which contributed to an inability for Pitt to find its rhythm which it has so oftentimes used to handle -- and handle well -- fellow ACC competition.
All considered, a 79-72 loss to Quadrant 1 opponent Virginia Tech is not damning to Pitt's NCAA Tournament hopes, but one cannot help but to wonder if the Hokies revealed the blueprint of how to properly tackle this ever-evolving Panthers team.
