Pittsburgh Panthers Set to Battle Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at Hank McCamish Pavilion

As the Pittsburgh Panthers prepare to face off against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at Hank McCamish Pavilion, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent trend of success. The Panthers have been showing a strong performance in their past games, with a notable improvement in both offensive and defensive plays.

In their most recent game against the Mastodons, the Panthers secured a comfortable win with 62 points to 48. Their field goal percentage stood at 36 percent, while they excelled at free throws with an impressive 71 percent completion rate. The team also demonstrated solid defense with five blocks and six steals, contributing to their victory.


The game prior saw an even more dominant performance from Pittsburgh as they overwhelmed South Carolina State Bulldogs with an astounding score of 86 to 50. Their field goal accuracy was remarkable at 50 percent and they maintained a strong presence under the basket with a total rebound count of 40. Additionally, the Panthers showcased exceptional teamwork by recording twice as many assists as turnovers.


Against Canisius Golden Griffins earlier in December, Pittsburgh again came out on top scoring 82 points against Canisius' 71. They maintained high shooting efficiency from both inside and outside the arc — over half for two-pointers (56 percent) and exactly half for three-pointers (50 percent). This balance indicates that Pittsburgh can rely on various scoring options when facing different defensive setups.


The upcoming game's venue may pose challenges due to unfamiliarity compared to home games; however, based on past performances, it seems that Pittsburgh has adapted well regardless of location. With consistent scoring above opponents by double digits and maintaining high shooting percentages across multiple games, fans can anticipate another strong showing from their team.


The match is scheduled for January 24th at Hank McCamish Pavilion in Atlanta. Fans can catch all the action live on ESPN Networks as these two teams clash on court for what promises to be an exciting encounter between conference rivals.
