Pitt trailed by as much as 13 against No. 11 Virginia, but picked up a second straight statement win in front of the Oakland Zoo, 68-65. Pitt scored 45 of its points in the second half en route to matching its best start ever in the ACC (4-0). Nike Sibande and Blake Hinson each put up 16 points, and Jamarius Burton followed up his 31-point performance with a solid 15 points against the Cavaliers. Kihei Clark’s 17 points were most among all scorers, and he’d add 8 assists in the loss.

Watch out Pitt is on the rise
H2P 💙💛
Pitt basketball is back up!! What a nice win for the program.
The referee rigged this game in the final minute to help Pittsburgh win. That was not a block on #21. All the players have to play their role when it comes to the scripting of these games. Why did Virginia leave the Pittsburgh Center all alone for an easy 2 point dunk to take the lead for good the rest of the way. RIGGED and SCRIPTED
Love to see Pitt back
Great job by Pitt to beat the ref show and knock off another ranked team! Huge W for the Panthers.
For FOUR YEARS Pitt was one of the worst teams in the Universe………NOW I'll give Capers props for doing something. It's gotta be sweet 16 this year. I'm surprised Pitt is playing this well…….dude, it took long enough and it better continue.
haha
Nice to see the panthers on the rise and all but still missing the brutal fun of the ol big east..i know old guy comment
Feels like the 2000s again
Pitt will be a problem for many teams. They are so experienced and play great defense. Guards get the ball to Federico for the easiest of layups. They are not afraid of ANY team.
Nice
