Pitt falls to 14-8 on the season with the loss to the Cavaliers — who were previously ranked No. 134 in the NCAA NET rankings. This was a Quad 3 loss for Pitt, and a Quad 1 win for Virginia.

Ishmael Leggett finished with 17 points for Pitt, while Jaland Lowe followed with seven points on just nine shot attempts. Damian Dunn, Cam Corhen, and Zack Austin each scored five points. Jorge Diaz Graham came off the bench and hit three of his six three-point attempts to finish with nine points.

Pitt finished the game with just 21 rebounds to Virginia’s 33. The Cavaliers scored 28 points in the paint, while Pitt scored just 18 points of that variety. Both teams had eight steals. Virginia tallied 20 assists in the win, while Pitt only had assists on five baskets of its 18 made baskets.

In the second half, Pitt’s rebounding struggles, as well as their offensive struggles, continued. The Panthers could not buy a bucket, and Virginia’s shooters kept hitting their attempts. The Cavaliers ran away with the win behind Dai Dai Ames and Isaac McKneely, while Pitt finished the night — a 16-point loss — with ten turnovers and a 41% shooting percentage.

Pitt now travels to Chapel Hill to take on North Carolina on the road. That game will tip off on Saturday, Feb. 8 at 4 p.m.
