Pitt vs. Duke Open Gamethread

Down the stretch they come.

We're in the final 1/3 of the season and it's crunch time for Pitt. At 6-3 and with two consecutive losses, the Panthers are looking to rebound against a Duke team that has faced struggles lately as well.

Neither of Pitt's losses to North Carolina and Notre Dame were bad ones. It was disappointing to see Pitt so easily overmatched against the Irish, but against a Top 5 team fighting for a national championship, the loss itself wasn't entirely unexpected. The Panthers need to come out today and get off to a better start against Duke to stay in the ACC Coastal Division race.
