The non-conference season for the men’s basketball team ended with a 68-54 win over Colgate last Saturday. The Panthers finished at 10-3 and already have two more victories than the team had all of last season.
I came away impressed with how Pitt took the non-conference portion of the season by the horns, mostly dominating it. Yes, there was the upset loss to Niagara but many more experienced teams have been similarly upset this year. The Panthers lost that game by a single point, lost on the road to a Top 15 Iowa team by a point, and lost the Backyard Brawl with West Virginia by ten.
