Pitt won its exhibition game over Slippery Rock 71-59. It’s a big deal only so far as it avoids any additional embarrassment and stress on the team.
Attendance wasn’t great, but not unexpected. At the end of the day it was an exhibition game and even the defending NCAA Champs couldn’t get 5k to show for an exhibition.
For the only two returning players, they picked up where they left off from last year. Ryan Luther got in foul trouble in the first half and didn’t play much until the second half. Jonathon Milligan didn’t start and played 10 mostly forgettable minutes.
