Pitt unable to overcome abysmal first half shooting effort against Monmouth

ALTOONA, Pa. -- The epitome of brutality is typically when a major conference team loses to a mid-major team just like Pitt did with their 56-52 loss to Monmouth Sunday night at the Petersen Events Center. With the loss the Panthers fall to 3-7 on the season.

What was even more brutal than losing to the Hawks was the manner in which Pitt lost. They outscored Monmouth by 13 points in the second half, yet that still wasn't enough after the Panthers shot a brutally awful 22.2 percent from the field in the second half managing to only put 19 points on the board to the Hawks' 36.
