Game 9: Pittsburgh Panthers at Vanderbilt Commodores — Open Game Thread

It’s the second straight year that Kevin Stallings’ former employers meet, but unlike last season — when Pitt started the season 3-7 on their way to an 11-21 record — the Panthers enter tonight’s game with a 6-3 record. They did lose not-particularly-close games to West Virginia and Michigan early on, as well as a four-point decision to VCU (been there), but they’ve since reeled off five straight wins and while the first three of those aren’t worth spending much time on, last week they won at Northwestern 87-58 and also won their ACC opener on the road at NC State 68-60.
