Posted Feb 7, 2025
It’s a gut-check game for UNC basketball against Pitt on Saturday at the Smith Center. Coming off losses in four of their last five games, the Tar Heels (13-10, 6-5 ACC standings) got a week-long break to prepare for the Panthers (14-8, 5-6), who have lost back-to-back games. Prediction: UNC 76, Pitt 73: In a toss-up game, roll with the home team. (MSN.com)
