Zack Austin should eat whatever he ate tonight pregame before every single game that Pitt plays for the rest of the season. HUGE 3’S. HUGE DEFENSE. Panthers over North Carolina in the 412.

North Carolina loses to Pitt and is now 13-9, 6-4 in the worst ACC of our lives.
Barring, basically a flawless run from here, multiple wins over Duke or an ACC Tournament title, UNC will miss the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three years.

Zack Austin is my spirit animal.
Where would Pitt be without him?

Zack Austin is absolutely on the short list of most explosive leapers in the history of Pitt basketball. Cut from that Julius Page, Sam Young, Sam Clancy mold.
