The difference between a Panther fighting a Cardinal and Cardinals is more is better. Louisville rolled into the Petersen Events Center and shocked the Panthers 82-78. Shooting with ease from beyond the arc, the Panthers couldn’t keep pace with Louisville who had 13 three’s. UL Head Coach Pat Kelsey has his Cards in second place in the ACC at 5-1. Probably the most disheartening thing for Pittsburgh was giving up 17 offensive boards. They made it easier for U of L than Only Fans star Lily Philips did bedding 100 men in a day. Next up for Pitt, a visit to Florida State Seminoles on 1/15 with a 9 pm tip off. #H2P

Unlike Sylvester trying and failing to munch down Tweetie, the Pitt Panthers pounced on the Stanford Cardinal on January 4th at the Petersen Event Center for their third ACC win and running their overall record to 12-2.
Ishmael Leggett made his triumphant return (albeit 0-4 from outside arc) and led all scorers with 21 points. Maxime Raynaud was tops for Stanford (9-5, 1-2) with 21 points. Pitt travels to #4 Duke on 1/7.
Stay Tuned for a Devil of a Time!

Ishmael is not exactly like Mike but Ishmael Leggett means a lot to the Panther basketball team as a leader on and off the court. That is why Pitt’s first half holiday hangover was stunning, but with tenacity and the will to not lose their first conference game or to a team that traveled across the country to play them, they managed to string together a second half performance that helped them win by double-digits. Jaland Lowe led the Panthers with 27 points and 8 assists and Cameron Cohen chipped in with 18 points and 11 boards. Next up for the 11-2 Panther men’s squad is Stanford on January 4th at home with a 6:30 tip off.

Just like Sam Houston who was ousted as Governor of Texas in the 1800’s, Sam Houston Bearkats were dismissed after their fetal attempt at defeating the Panthers (10-2, 1-0 in ACC) on December 21st. Pitt finds itself .5 game back before they get crack-a-lackin on the full conference schedule. Ishmael Leggett led the way for the Panthers with 21 points. Next up for Pitt is the University of California on 1/1 at 2pm at the Petersen Event Center so they’ll need to “Bear” down as the calendar turns to 2025

After what seemed to be a close game heading out of the half (39-36) in the Pitt and Eastern Kentucky matchup, Pitt finally figured they were playing a 5-5 team and needed to turn their game up a bit especially on their homecourt where the student section known as "The Zoo" sounded more like a rainforest for the better part of the game. Freshman Brandin Cummings, out to impress his brother (Nelly Cummings) who sat in to hype his younger sibling at the broadcast booth, led all scorers with 30 points. Pitt returns to the court on December 21st against powerhouse Sam Houston.
