THE SETUP
Pitt basketball goes into Wednesday's game with its first ACC win streak in over a year, facing one of the conference's best teams in North Carolina. A key matchup in this game will be how John Hugley IV and Mouhammadou Gueye face off against North Carolina's top forward, Armando Bacot. Bacot is currently the only ACC player who averages a double-double with 16.6 points (7th in ACC) and 12.2 rebounds (1st in ACC) per game. Hugley is coming off a strong performance with 21 points and ten rebounds against N.C. State, and discussed the challenge of facing Bacot Monday.
