Sleepy. Uninspired. Lazy.
Use whatever word you like. A Tuesday night game with a late start featuring two bad teams is hardly an attraction. But, hey, it’s still a Pitt basketball game.
The Panthers (12-15) faced Georgia Tech (12-15) and the first half went badly. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but Pitt got off to a dismal start, fought back, and ultimately fell short at the end, losing 73-65 to the Yellow Jackets.
In the gamethread, I mentioned that the game had an eerily similar feel to many of Pitt’s other contests. The screenplay typically unfolds with the team starting off terribly, clawing back, and then falling short.
