PITTSBURGH – On a 14-degree night in Pittsburgh outside the Petersen Events Center, the action inside the building by the Pitt Panthers was nearly as cold. Pitt dropped its second game of the season to Syracuse in a deflating 69-58 home loss. Things could have been much worse if it wasn’t for Jaland Lowe. The freshman guard carried the Panther offense.
Pitt shot 33% (10-30) from the floor in the field half and 28.6% (4-14) from three in a pedestrian first half. Pitt only scored 26 points in the first 20 minutes that saw Blake Hinson and Bub Carrington shot 2-14 overall and 1-9 from three. Carrington did not score in the first half on five shot attempts in 19 minutes. The Panthers didn’t fair much better in the second half, shooting 13 for 35 from the field and just 1 for 12 from three.
