Pitt has its opponent for Thursday at the ACC Tournament.

On Thursday, the No. 4 seed Panthers will take on the No. 5 seeded Demon Deacons of Wake Forest. Wake took down 12-seeded Notre Dame on Wednesday afternoon in Washington D.C. to advance to the quarterfinals to face Pitt, who earned a double-bye for the first time since joining the Atlantic Coast Conference years ago.
