This ACC tournament first round game will features the 14th seeded Pittsburgh Panthers and the 11th seeded Boston College Eagles. The Panthers posted a 3-15 conference record this season and the Eagles are 5-13. The winner of this game will go on to play the 5th seeded Syracuse Orange on Wednesday in the second round.
The only meeting this between these two teams resulted in a 66-57 win for Boston College.
Pittsburgh Panthers
The Panthers clearly had a terrible season, only managing to win three of their eighteen conference games. This past weekend they finally snapped a 13-game losing streak when they beat Notre Dame on Senior Day. At this point in the season it is obvious the Panthers will not be playing in any postseason tournament, so really this game is all about pride and ending the season having at least won a game against a better seeded team. Maybe a win over the Eagles could spark a late run, but even still it is going to take a miracle to see the Panthers make a deep run.
The Panthers have clearly struggled all year on the offensive side of the ball. Stats show they average 69.9 points per game, but even with that being said, recently they have struggled to score in the 60s. The only way Pittsburgh wins this game is if their leading scorer, Xavier Johnson puts up monster numbers.

Defensively the Panthers really only have one thing going for them. This is that they have overall kept their opponents to a relatively low shooting percentage. Allowing just 41% from the field is 42nd in the country and will be the biggest factor to watch for if the Panthers are going to win.
Boston College Eagles
The Eagles have now lost three in a row, including an embarrassing loss at home on Senior Day to NC State. The Eagles fared a little better than the Panthers this season and as mentioned they defeated this Panthers team head to head.
Like the Panthers, the Eagles offense will fall on the shoulders of their best player. Ky Bowman is averaging 19.2 points this year. He also leads the team in assists and steals. Look for Ky Bowman to carry his team and hope to see the Orange in the second round game.

Aside from the offense, the defense has been torched the past couple of games. However, playing Pittsburgh should give them confidence knowing that they beat them before. Look for the Eagles to slow down the Panthers in what is most likely going to be a low scoring game.
