For the last month, Pitt played with fire. And not in the good way.

Ineffective defense. Inefficient offense. Sloppy turnovers. Poor rebounding. First-half deficits. Late-game flops.

The Panthers have done all of it since the full ACC schedule started on New Year’s Day. Sometimes, they got away with it. Other times, they didn’t.

But they kept doing it anyway. They kept playing with fire and only occasionally getting burned.

Monday night’s 73-57 loss to Virginia was a third-degree scorching with all of the flaws on display.
