It seems like every home game the Pittsburgh Panthers (12-7, 2-4) find themselves down 0-5 to start the game. It definitely wasn’t the start they were hoping for against the second ranked team in the country, the visiting Duke Blue Devils (16-2, 5-1). However, an aggressive Terrell Brown recorded 4 points early in the contest before picking up his second foul at the 16:22 mark.
Despite that, a 5-0 run by the Panthers punctuated by a corner three-pointer by Jared Wilson-Frame tied the game at 11 right before the first media timeout. He connected again a few minutes later, this time giving Pitt a 16-15 advantage.
