THE SETUP
Pitt has now lost back-to-back games on a last-second shot by Jamarius Burton that couldn't fall for the Panthers. Now, Pitt plays its first ACC opponent without a winning record of the season looking to get back on the winning side. Boston College is coming off a blowout loss to North Carolina on Jan. 2 after two games were postponed. Expect a tough physical game as Boston College averages 67.1 points per game for 13th most in the ACC, while Pitt averages 61.9 for the worst in the conference, while the Eagles' 64.1 points allowed per game ranks fourth in the ACC and Pitt's 64.8 ranks fifth.
