The West Virginia Mountaineers served the Pitt Panthers a nice dish of a Pittsburgh delicacy with their 69-60 win in the 185th edition of The Backyard Brawl this evening in the Petersen Events Center.
West Virginia jumped on the Panthers right out of the gate with a pair of Lamont West threes. The Mountaineers built to a 13-5 lead four minutes into the game and the West Virginia fans in attendance took over The Pete with the most beautiful chant in the world.
The Panthers attempted to chip away at the Mountaineer lead, after a flagrant foul was called on Daxter Miles Jr.
