Petersen Events Center to Witness Pittsburgh Panthers vs. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in Women's Basketball
As the Pittsburgh Panthers prepare to welcome the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets to the Petersen Events Center for an exciting women's basketball game, fans can anticipate a competitive matchup. The Panthers have shown a mix of results in their recent outings, displaying both resilience and areas for improvement.
In their last game against the Lady Bulldogs, despite a strong effort that saw them score 59 points with notable contributions from fast break points and points off turnovers, they fell short by six points. Their shooting accuracy was a concern as they managed only 30 percent from two-point range and roughly 29 percent overall field goal percentage. However, their free throw performance was solid at approximately 72 percent.
The previous encounter with Ball State Cardinals also ended in disappointment for the Panthers with a close three-point deficit. They improved their two-point shooting significantly to around 53 percent and maintained an impressive field goal percentage of about 45 percent. The team showed balance with contributions across the board but will need to address turnovers which stood at fifteen.
However, it was against Lehigh Mountain Hawks where Pittsburgh displayed its potential by securing an emphatic twelve-point victory. Scoring an impressive 94 points, they excelled in all aspects of offense including a remarkable paint dominance where they scored half of their total points. Their defensive efforts were equally commendable as evidenced by eleven steals and twenty-six points off turnovers.
The upcoming game presents another opportunity for Pittsburgh to capitalize on its home court advantage at Petersen Events Center—a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere that could play into the Panthers' favor.
Fans can catch this intriguing clash on January 7th at 7:00 PM local time (Eastern Time). With both teams looking to assert themselves early in the season, this is certainly one not to be missed!
