Pitt basketball rebounds with 83-74 win over Drexel
Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports After a disastrous start to the season with an upset loss to St. Francis, the Pitt men’s basketball team rebounded for an 83-74 win over Drexel on Saturday.
‘Rebounded’ isn’t a great word there as the Panthers were actually beaten on the boards, 29-26. But that was largely due to going with a smaller lineup as Terrell Brown did not play and freshman big man John Hugley played only ten minutes.
The Panthers did not need the rebounding, it turns out. That’s because they shot a blistering 62% from the field. That was a stark contrast to the opener when the team connected on fewer than 40% of their shots.
