So many conflicting emotions over this game. Towson is a good team this year. They were a top-100 KenPom.com team. A top contender in the Colonial — one of the better mid-major conferences. They were the legitimate favorites in the game. This was Pitt’s first win over what could be considered a quality opponent.
On the other hand…
It’s still playing Towson. Pitt had to comeback multiple times. The fact that Pitt was a home dog against them is more then a little troubling even with Ryan Luther on the shelf.
It was an ugly game and Coach Kevin Stallings was right in noting Pitt did a lot to put themselves on what could have been the losing end of this game.
