On Friday afternoon, Pitt will take on the LSU Tigers in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, at The Greenbrier.

PITT’S OUTLOOK

The Panthers are looking for win No. 6 on the year in the opening game of The Greenbrier Tip Off. Pitt traveled down to the famous resort on Wednesday, and has had several days to prepare since its last game, on Monday, which was a win over VMI.

The Panthers beat VMI 93-48 behind six double-digit scorers. Jaland Lowe turned in a phenomenal performance in the win, dropping the second triple double at Pitt since 1998. In addition, Damian Dunn, Ishmael Leggett, Guillermo Diaz Graham, Cam Corhen, and Jorge Diaz Graham all scored in double figures in the lopsided victory.

LSU TIGERS (4-0)
