Today was doomed from the start. Pitt senior stars, Jamel Artis and Michael Young reportedly showed up late for the team breakfast. Kevin Stallings removed both players from the starting lineup and sat them for the first 10 minutes. Predictably, it went terrible for the Panthers. They lost to Virginia 67-42.
Pitt did not make a field goal until the 9:16 mark with a Cam Johnson layup, and that shot cut the Virginia lead to 21-4. It was a total train wreck of a first half, with Pitt not being able to buy a shot and found themselves trailing 32-15 at the break.
