Pitt pulls away for 74-53 City Game win over Duquesne
Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY SportsThe Pitt men’s basketball team suffered a disappointing one-point loss to Iowa earlier this week. But the Panthers rebounded for a big win over Duquesne in the annual City Game on Friday, 74-53.
It was a close game for the most part until Pitt pulled away late. The Panthers led by only six with about eight minutes left. But the Panthers went on a big run as Duquesne went scoreless for about seven minutes near the end of the game.
It’s another impressive milestone for the Panthers, who move to 7-1 on the season. Four Panthers were in double figures, led by freshman Trey McGowens, who had 14.
