Pitt hosted UNC Wilmington at the Petersen Events Center on Tuesday night, and for the first time this season, the Panthers were able to notch a win, topping the Seahawks 59-51.
From the start, the game stood in stark contrast to the team’s last at the Pete, as Pitt held UNC Wilmington in check early and was able to score confidently and consistently. That allowed the Panthers to shoot out to a 17-6 lead seven minutes into the game, with each of Pitt's five starters contributing and Texas Tech transfer Jamarius Burton chipping in a three-pointer off the bench in his debut.
