For a half, this looked like an old school Pitt game when the Panthers were one of the better teams in college basketball beating up on a weak non-conference team.
For a half.
But Pitt’s 22-point halftime lead against one of the worst teams in the nation kept shrinking and shrinking. With a few minutes left, it was all out panic mode. And when Delaware State (2-11) cut it to two with only 22 seconds left in the game, things looked really dicey. As I’ve pointed out before, though, this is actually a good free throw shooting team and Pitt knocked down their last four to pull out the 74-68 win.
