Coming off their win at home against Boston College Tuesday night, the Panthers hope to continue their battle back into the NCAA Tournament picture. While they have performed poorly on the road for most of the season, Pitt was able to survive their last road game at Syracuse. Wake Forest is coming off an embarrassing home loss to #2 Virginia on Wednesday night. The 70-34 defeat was the Demon Deacons third straight loss and their eighth loss in their last 11 games.

Prediciton
With just a 2-7 record on the road this year, the Panthers should not overlook any team while traveling to their arena, however, it is hard to picture Pitt losing this game given the way both teams have been playing recently. Pitt will have trouble on the boards, but should control the game everywhere else. Final: Pitt 76-Wake 67.
