Three games in, the Pitt men’s basketball team has scored its first victory of the year. It wasn’t easy, but the Panthers ultimately prevailed in a 70-62 win over UC Santa Barbara on Wednesday.
Pitt had a pretty balanced attack scoring-wise, which was a little different from their first two games. Five players were in double figures with none scoring more than the 14 from Jonathan Milligan and Jared Wilson-Frame.
Ryan Luther had 13 and led the team in rebounds. Parker Stewart contributed 12 off the bench and Shamiel Stevenson had 11.
As will be the case a lot this season, Pitt was beaten up on the glass.
