OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: CLEMSON at Pitt

CUTrevor 2020-02-12 09:04:42


Tip is at 9:00 on Fox Sports South, and I'll have live play-by-play right here! Pitt has won 2 of its last 3, but they were home wins over Miami and GT, the two worst teams in the ACC. They lost at Notre Dame 80-72 between those two wins. Pitt is 6-7, tied with Notre Dame and Boston College and one game ahead of the Tigers, so it's another pivotal game in the middle of the ACC standings. The Tigers have lost 3 straight, but they would have beaten Notre Dame if Aamir Simms had played. Let's hope he's over the flu and able to play tonight!

That's the ball game! Impressive 20-point road win for the Tigers over a 6-7 Pitt team that was tied with Notre Dame and Boston College for 7th in the ACC standings.

TIGERS WIN 72-52.

They are now 6-8 in the ACC and have an opportunity for a huge home win over a top-5 Louisville team on Saturday!
