In their last outing against Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons, the Panthers dominated with a 62-48 victory. Their defensive prowess was on full display as they racked up five blocks and six steals while holding their opponents to just 34 percent shooting from the field. Offensively, they were efficient inside, scoring 38 points in the paint and converting 71 percent of their free throws.


The previous game saw an even more commanding performance from Pittsburgh as they trounced South Carolina State Bulldogs with an overwhelming score of 86-50. The Panthers' offense was firing on all cylinders – sinking half of their field goal attempts and maintaining a strong presence inside with 44 points in paint. Their defense wasn't far behind either; eight blocks and thirteen steals contributed to a formidable showing that left little room for Bulldog advances.


Against Canisius Golden Griffins, Pittsburgh maintained its momentum despite facing lead changes and ties throughout the game. They emerged victorious with an 82-71 scoreline thanks to consistent shooting (53 percent from both field goals and two-point range) coupled with strategic three-pointers that kept them ahead.


The upcoming clash at Raleigh's PNC Arena promises to be thrilling as Pittsburgh brings its balanced attack and tenacious defense into hostile territory. With recent performances indicating high morale and tactical acumen, fans can expect another exciting display of basketball prowess.


Mark your calendars for February 8th when ESPN Networks will broadcast this anticipated encounter live from Raleigh at midnight UTC time (7 PM Eastern Time). Don't miss out as Pittsburgh aims to continue its ascent against North Carolina State at one of college basketball's renowned venues – where every dribble echoes history in making.
