By Scott Roche
Just one game for the Panthers last week and it was a 22-point loss at home against Duke and they get to a trip to Durham this week. Through five games, it's not the start Pittsburgh hoped for in conference play this season.
Last week: No. 11
Games this week: Jan. 16 vs. Syracuse, Jan. 20 at Duke
It was a rough week for the Eagles who lost by 10 at Syracuse, then lost by 11 at Clemson, playing without three players due to an illness. They have a quick turnaround with a Monday night game at home.
Last week: No. 9
Games this week: Jan. 15 vs. Notre Dame, Jan. 20 vs. North Carolina
The Hokies picked up a win at home over Clemson behind 32 points from Sean Pedulla and 24 from Tyler Nickel, but they ended the week with a loss at home to Miami. Two tough road games are on tap this week, including an in-state battle at Virginia.
