Pitt got its biggest win of the season Saturday at the Petersen Events Center.
Just ten days after losing to Louisville 75-72, the Panthers delivered their best win of the season by beating the Cardinals in a rematch 65-53 that showed dominance on both ends of the court. Pitt's defense stifled Louisville, holding the Cardinals to a 33.3 shooting percentage, the lowest by any of the Panthers' ACC opponents this season.
It was the kind of win Jeff Capel had been preaching to his players all season about, with the Panthers playing gritty defense that combined with an offense that dominated the paint all game.
