Is NC State or Pittsburgh going to get back in the win column today in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania?

Right now I don’t know the answer to that question!

What I do know is that both Atlantic Coast Conference teams are going to be looking to get back in the win column in this match up!

Why?

Because both Atlantic Coast Conference teams have lost games recently!

NC State comes into the game with a record of 8-9 while they’re 4-8 in the Atlantic Coast Conference and twelfth in the Atlantic Coast Conference standings.”according to the acc.com/ standings”

Why?

Because NC State has lost their two previous games!

They lost to Syracuse on Tuesday February 9, 2021 by a score of 77-68!

Where?

North Carolina’s state capital!

Why?

NC State committed a season-high 20 turnovers in the defeat and Syracuse recorded 11 steals, a season-best for an NC State opponent. “according to an article on gopack.com”

Then,

They lost to Duke!

A Braxton Beverly lay-up ended the Pack's scoreless streak, but Duke scored eight on the next nine points after Beverly's bucket to take a 33-13 lead with 6:11 remaining until the half.

Duke would lead by as many as 22 points in the first half and would take a 39-21 lead into the break.

NC State turned the ball over 13 times in the first half and finished the game with 19 turnovers. Duke turned the Pack's 18 turnovers into 22 points.

NC State could never put a dent into Duke's lead in the final 20 minutes as the Blue Devils led by as many as 23 points. “according to an article on gopack.com”
