Syracuse Will Open ACC Tournament Against Pitt in 8/9 Game

The Syracuse Orange and Pittsburgh Panthers are two basketball teams who refused to take care of business when the opportunity was presented to them. Now they have no choice, at least one of them has to win a basketball game and only one is allowed to self-destruct. It's a bummer.

The Orange and Panthers both lost on Saturday and that means they're the 8-seed and 9-seed in the ACC Tournament and will play one another at Noon on Wednesday, March 9. Despite both having 9-9 conference records, Pitt is the 8-seed due to their head-to-head win.
