GREENSBORO, N.C. — The ACC Tournament has come to an end for the Pitt Panthers, and the ending results in significantly more questions than answers.
No. 5 Pitt was dominated at the hands of No. 4 Duke, 96-69, in the ACC Tournament Quarterfinals. The Panthers trailed 11-0 to begin the game and were once again handled by 7-footer Kyle Filipowski, who knocked down a few triples in the early going to throw a curveball into Pitt’s game plan.
“The thing that they hadn’t done in the last four or five games is shoot the ball well from three, and so our game plan was to try to crowd it, crowd the lane,” head coach Jeff Capel said. “Because when we played them last time, they had 24 offensive rebounds, so we really wanted to do that, and they made us pay for it, especially early. Filipowski was two for 11 in the last four games, and he hit his first three, and that knocked us back right away.”
