Pitt’s basketball team survived an up-and-down performance against High Point on Tuesday to win 71-63. If you saw the game, you know it was much closer than the final score indicated.
Pitt (3-4) led by only three at halftime, for starters. They also trailed inside of ten minutes to play and led by only two with a little more than two minutes remaining before beginning to pull away. Suffice to say, it was a game that could have easily been lost.
Before I get too far into the actual game, the attendance deserves a brief mention.
The Panthers played in front of another light crowd and that trend probably won’t change until the team gets into ACC play.
