GAME RECAP: Pitt defeats Georgia Tech 71-60

Basketball’s a weird sport sometimes. You can look at a box score, and then look at the final score and sometimes the two don’t make sense together. If I told you Pitt only committed three turnovers the entire game and made 17-20 free throws (while GT didn’t make a single one), how many points do you think they won by? Initially, you’d think at least 15, probably 20. But then you stop to think, wait a minute, they only shot three free throws? Oh no, how many threes did they make? Twelve? Uh oh. And that’s pretty much how Pitt played fairly well, but still managed to never put the game on ice.
