Pitt unresponsive in blowout ACC Tournament loss to Duke

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- If we could have scripted a loss for No. 5 Pitt in this ACC Tournament quarterfinal against No. 4 Duke, it would have looked like this in some ways.

But, it probably would not have looked this bad.

Identical, 12-0 runs to begin each half were only the beginnings of Pitt's issues which dug it into inescapable holes against a team it was already outmatched against, and as a result, Pitt could not get back into its own game in its 96-69 loss to the Blue Devils Thursday inside the Greensboro Coliseum.
