With Pitt's season opener against Gonzaga canceled at halftime due to a slippery floor, unfortunately we don't know if the Panthers could have upset the Top Ten Zags. But a half of basketball was played and if you're a Pitt fan, you should be encouraged by what you saw.
Yes, the floor was a train wreck. Yes, players certainly were not able to go all out. But a lot of good happened in those first 20 minutes.
We've talked a lot this year about the football team's defense but the basketball defense tonight was pretty spectacular.
