Pitt's rotation from their 63-59 home win over Towson: MVPs of this one? Nate Santos and Noah Collier. Santos gave Pitt a much-needed offensive infusion in the first half. Collier's defensive effort set the tone for Pitt to take the lead and hold on in the second half.
Pitt's rotation from the first half of their home contest with Towson. Pitt trails 29-26 at halftime. Some notes on the half:
Final rotations from Pitt's 59-51 win over UNC Wilmington tonight, their first win of the year. Capel uses a very short bench for the final 11 mins of the game, and the Panthers played great defense down the stretch to hold UNCW to 0 field goals for the final 6:01 of the game.
Here is roughly what Pitt's rotations have looked like so far tonight as they lead UNC Wilmington 34-21 at halftime. Thoughts at the half:
Tonight was, indeed, Ouch for the Panthers.
Wow tonight Citadel beat Pittsburgh of the @accmbb by 15 that is Ouch for Panthers . Also @IonaGaelsMBB ‘s Rick Pitino @RealPitino with a strong & deep backcourt won opener 65-53 against Appalachian St who was an @marchmadness team last yr returning their top players .
If you're a Pitt basketball fan or a glutton for punishment (or both), here's a look at what Pitt's rotation looked like tonight in its 78-63 home loss to The Citadel:
Should be no surprise that @RazorbackBSB has the most wins and winning weekends against teams currently ranked in the @BaseballAmerica Top 25. No. 2 on those lists? @Pitt_BASE
Pitt is likely about to lose this game, but if Champagnie returns for next season? It’s hard to feel too badly about him lining up next to Odukale and Sibande after today’s performance by those two.
Odukale simply can’t be stopped today (except from the free throw line). 26 points on 11-for-14 shooting from the floor.
I’m also n out sure that I’ve ever seen this before, but only four players have scored all 57 points for Pitt today. Femi (22), Sibande (18), Horton (10), Champagnie (7). The other five players who have seen the floor today are a combined 0-for-2 from the floor.
Femi and Sibande have combined for 40 points on 16-for-22 shooting so far today. Pretty good day for those two to go off, since Champagnie has just 7 points on 3-for-16 shooting. Pitt trails 58-57 with 7:05 to go.
I don’t see how that was called a block against Coulibaly rather than a charge. At full speed, and upon a rewatch, he appears to be outside of the restricted zone with his feet set well in advance of the contact.
Sibande continues to shoot the basketball well. He’s been one of the players who has stepped up in a big way to fill the offensive void left by the loss of X/Toney’s production.
Second media timeout. Pitt leads Miami 13-10 with 12:00 to go in the first half. Panthers have shot 3-for-5 (all made shots were three pointers) since the 14:41 mark. Champagnie already has five points, four rebounds, and a block.
Champagnie off to a cold start offensively. He’s taken five of Pitt’s first 10 shots, but he’s made just one. Pitt trails 7-4 with 14:41 to go in the first half.
My favorite stat from the first half? William Jeffress and Terrell Brown have scored 7 total points on... 0 field goal attempts. They’ve combined for 7-for-8 from the free throw line with a 0-for-0 mark from the field.
Panthers go into halftime down just two points to Clemson, 38-36. Well-rounded team effort so far, as every Panther who has checked into the game has at least 3 points, and nobody has more than 7 (Coulibaly).
