Pitt hits some early threes, but not enough
Pitt had an up-and-down start in the first half, feeling very comfortable from the three-point line. It made several three-point attempts, but was slow in stacking points, allowing Boston College to put itself up ahead on the scoreboard throughout the first period, 28-22.
Although they ultimately lost, the Panthers put up some good stats against the Eagles, including an increase from the free-throw line. In the first period, Pitt had a 54.5 free throw percentage compared to Boston College’s 44.4 percentage.
But the Eagles stood their ground for a good amount of this game. With very persistent shooting, they were able to hold a 45.5 field goal percentage through the first and second half.
The entire game was extremely close, and there was even a tie in the last two minutes of the game. Unfortunately, the Panthers were not able to get this win on the road.
