In their last three games, the Panthers have shown mixed results. Despite a strong start against Duke with 43 points in the first half, they couldn't maintain momentum and ultimately fell with 69 points to Duke's 77. The team's shooting was inconsistent; while they managed a solid free throw percentage of 76 percent, their three-point attempts only found success 27 percent of the time.


The following game saw an even tighter contest as Pittsburgh narrowly lost to Clemson by one point. The final score was 74-75 in favor of Clemson. This time around, their three-point shooting improved significantly to approximately 38 percent but it wasn't enough to secure a win.


However, there is hope on the horizon as evidenced by their performance against Virginia where they turned things around with an impressive second half scoring 45 points and securing a win with a total score of 68-65. Their free throw accuracy was exceptional at about 88 percent and they maintained a solid field goal percentage of approximately 43 percent.


The Panthers will need to focus on maintaining consistency throughout both halves while capitalizing on turnovers which has been one of their strengths; they scored an impressive total of 21 points off turnovers against Virginia.


With these trends in mind, fans can expect an intense matchup where every possession will count. The team must leverage its ability to convert opportunities into points and tighten up defensively if it hopes to come out on top in this away game challenge.


The action unfolds on January 14th at Hank McCamish Pavilion with live coverage available through ACC Network for those who cannot attend in person. Tip-off is scheduled for prime viewing at eight o'clock local time.
