As expected, Pitt had little trouble with Morehead State on Friday. The Panthers didn't blow them out of the water, but had a comfortable 76-63 win.
Pitt was up by as many as 18 in the first half and seemed to take the foot off the pedal a little in the second half. Even though Morehead State managed to keep the score somewhat close, you just never really got the sense in this game that they could legitimately challenge Pitt.
They key for Pitt was how they shot the ball. The team made nearly 50% of their shots and that included making 11 of 19 three-pointers.
