Lucas: A Road Rout

PITTSBURGH—Hang on. Enjoy this one for just a second.

Carolina earned a 25-point road victory over Pittsburgh on Saturday afternoon. It wasn't especially artful. The Panthers probably aren't an NCAA Tournament team. Roy Williams left the Petersen Events Center with plenty of details he'll want to improve before Tuesday night's trip to Raleigh.

But the most important detail is that third sentence. Carolina recorded an 85-60 road win, in the Atlantic Coast Conference, in the league opener, against a program hosting its first sellout in two years. You don't win many games like that in this fashion on the road in this league.
