It may be snowing outside, but inside the Peterson Events Center it was a boiling hot night for Pitt.

Pitt met one of its oldest Big East rivals, the Syracuse Orange, for the first time in the ACC and the game seemed like old times.
Much like the last several games, Pitt started last night’s game rather sluggishly in the first half.
Pitt looked like a well-oiled machine in beating Wake Forest 80-65 yesterday but lost key reserve Durand Johnson for the season.
Only 2 seasons removed from the disastrous 2011-12 season, Pitt is still looking to reclaim its place in the top 25.
Pitt won its debut game in the ACC behind the play of its star player, Lamar Patterson, beating NC State.
Lamar Patterson led the Panthers with 30 points in a 73-56 thrashing of Cal Poly.
Its not so easy to find what keeps a well-balanced team basketball team like Pitt performing at a high level night after night. Look a little closer, watch the reserves and you’ll have your answer.
For the first time since 2005, Pitt and Penn State renewed their rivalry on the hardwood. The battle for Pennsylvania was physical, slow and painful to watch.
