Pitt needs overtime to defeat Mount St. Mary’s, 82-78

Well that was ... something.

ICYMI, Pitt’s basketball team blew a large lead against Mount St. Mary’s before recovering in overtime to win, 82-78. Big picture is that they’re now 5-4 on the year and have won four straight games. Now for the ‘little’ picture.

Overall, I don’t know what was more frustrating - how sloppy Pitt was or how they blew several what should have been an insurmountable lead. The Panthers had 17 turnovers and if that sounds bad, consider that they also had a 15-point lead with only about 8 1⁄2 minutes left in the second half before losing it.

There’s no real excuse for this, obviously. You expect this team to have some rough nights and, as I’ve been preaching so far this…
