Pitt had its home opener against Montana and lost in overtime, 83-78.
That the game even went to overtime was a break for Pitt. The Panthers trailed by two and Montana had the ball, bringing it up the court. A momentary lapse caused them to receive a ten-second violation and Pitt subsequently tied it to send it to overtime.
This was a really back and forth game. I don’t know how many lead changes there were but the amount of times I thought Pitt would win or less changed quite a lot. For Pitt, the trio of Jared Wilson-Frame, Ryan Luther, and Shamiel Stevenson led the way with a combined 47 points (Stevenson led the way with 18).
