The Syracuse Orange actually had a better total offensive game than the Pittsburgh Panthers. That’s hard to believe considering the final score, but Pitt took advantage of multiple open looks from three, second chance points and points off turnovers to run away with the game in the second half. Pitt shot 63.6% from the floor and 55% from range in the final 20 minutes of the game to send the Oakland Zoo home happy with a 99-82 win over the Orange.
Here’s our three takeaways from a third straight Orange loss:
