Legs one and two of five in this Christmastime stretch for Pitt basketball net the most positive outcomes the Panthers could have hoped for.
With three similar and stronger tests on the horizon, though, can Pitt seize the opportunity to establish themselves among the top of the conference?
I was still hesitant to jump on the "Pitt is back" train after its holding off of Syracuse in Central New York just before the holiday.
After the Panthers' thunderous come-from-behind 76-74 win over No. 25 North Carolina on Friday, I'm starting to Google ticket prices and train stations.
