I said coming into the game that Morehead State (5-3) was known for its defense. We got a glimpse of that on Sunday in a relatively close game that Pitt ultimately won, 72-62, moving the Panthers to 8-1 on the year.
The Panthers ended up shooting a manageable 46% from the field on the day, but were only 1-13 from three-point range. Much has been made of the transformation of this team, which has turned into one of the best long-distance shooting squads in the country. But on Sunday, Pitt couldn't buy a bucket from downtown, helping the Eagles keep things close.
