The Pittsburgh Panthers were in a heavyweight showdown against one of the bluebloods in college basketball and were able to deliver a knockout. Jamarius Burton made two crucial free throws and Nike Sibande attempted the game-winning block that did not officially count on Caleb Love to deliver the Panthers a 65-64 win.
“We have a saying where we are fighting ten rounds,” Nelly Cummings said “It comes down to a lot of times the 10th round you can’t fight nine and then lose the 10th round no we fight all 10 every game”
Fight the Panthers did in a physical battle reminiscent of Pitt’s days in the Big East Conference.
