How To Watch

What to Know

Pittsburgh will be in front of their home fans on Tuesday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. The Pittsburgh Panthers and the Duke Blue Devils will face off in an ACC battle at 9:00 p.m. ET at Petersen Events Center. Both teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

After a disappointing 57 points in their last match, Pittsburgh made sure to put some points up on the board against Louisville on Saturday. The Panthers came out on top against the Cardinals by a score of 83-70.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Pittsburgh to victory, but perhaps none more so than Zack Austin, who scored 20 points along with four steals. As a matter of fact, that’s the most points Austin has scored all season. Another player making a difference was Carlton Carrington, who scored 16 points along with six rebounds and five assists.

Meanwhile, Duke entered their tilt with Notre Dame with five consecutive wins but they’ll enter their next game with six. The Blue Devils walked away with a 67-59 victory over the Fighting Irish on Saturday. Despite the win, that was the fewest points Duke has scored all season.

Duke relied on the efforts of Jeremy Roach, who scored 18 points along with six rebounds and four steals, and Mark Mitchell, who dropped a double-double on 23 points and 14 rebounds. That’s the first time this season that Mitchell pulled down ten or more rebounds.

The Panthers’ win bumped their record up to 10-5. As for the Blue Devils, their victory bumped their record up to 11-3.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Pittsburgh haven’t given up the ball easily this season, having only averaged 10 turnovers per game. However, it’s not like Duke struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging only 9.2 turnovers per game. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.

Pittsburgh was pulverized by Duke 96-69 when the teams last played back in March of 2023. Will Pittsburgh have more luck at home instead of on the road?

A longtime staple near Pitt’s campus is closing its doors after more than four decades of business in Oakland.

Hemingway’s Cafe announced Thursday that it will be closing for good in May after more than 40 years along Forbes Avenue in the heart of Oakland.

“Since opening in 1983, Hemingway’s has been more than just a bar – it’s been a home, a meeting place, and an Oakland staple for generations of students, alumni, locals, and friends at the heart of the University of Pittsburgh,” the bar said.

The bar said while they are sad to be closing, they’re also grateful for the decades of memories, laughter, friendship, and traditions over the years.

“Thank you for making Hemingway’s what it has been for over four decades,” the bar said.

A final closing date for Hemingway’s hasn’t been announced.

Jack McGregor, a former state senator and the original founder of the Pittsburgh Penguins, died at the age of 91 on Tuesday. The organization announced the news in a post on social media on Thursday.

“The team extends our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and teammates during this difficult time,” a post on X said.

No other information was provided in the post, which was shared before the team’s game at PPG Paints Arena against the New Jersey Devils.

According to his biography on the United States Senate Library, McGregor served in the state Senate from 1963-1970. He represented District 44 in Allegheny County and was a Republican.

He was born in Kittanning, Armstrong County, and attended the University of Pittsburgh and Quinnipiac University before getting into politics, according to his biography. He also served in the United States Marine Corps.

In 1966, the NHL granted a franchise to Pittsburgh after McGregor formed a group of investors that included H. J. Heinz II and Art Rooney. McGregor was named president and chief executive officer by the investors and represented Pittsburgh on the NHL’s Board of Governors, according to his biography.

The team played its first game in 1967 at the Civic Arena. McGregor owned the team for four years before selling it.

There is also a scholarship in his name at Pitt. It aims to provide “financial assistance to a law student who excels academically and has committed to working in the public sector,” the university says.
