Usual deal. Comment before, during and after.

HALFTIME UPDATE: Pitt tied 22-22.

And it feels like Pitt is losing.

12 frickin’ turnovers will kill.

Actually getting Gansey, Herber and Nichols in foul trouble — 2 apiece. Pittsnogle scoreless. WVU not shooting well.

This is bad. Pitt had 2 of the 3 starters for WVU on the bench with foul troubles in the final 4:32. Pitt musters 3 points and gives up 9.

Disgusting.

FINAL UPDATE: Pitt 57-53 win!

Ugly but I’ll take it. Horrible ball handling, but the perimeter defense was excellent.

I really believe Pittsnogle was trying to be a good new daddy and is just sleep deprived.

More later.

POSTGAME UPDATE: A little unusual I know, but I just caught the post-game interview on ESPNews with Coach Dixon. Asked about the game, his comment was appropriately, “We got through it.” Later said, that he felt the team, “got better,” through the game.

He did add that Pitt football assistant coach Bob Junko just had open heart surgery, and they dedicated the game to him.

As for defending Pittsnogle, he credited 3 days of practice and scouting. Said Gray did a fantastic job of covering him all over the court — and he did.
