PITTSBURGH — I believe the score was 80-52. Something like that. I'd become mildly interested in Pitt basketball again, after an impressive victory at North Carolina brought the Panthers' winning streak to three.
I was especially taken with linebacker-like big man John Hugley, who would have fit right in with any of those rugged Pitt teams of the early 2000s.
Of course, I wasn't surprised to see the North Carolina win followed by a momentum-crushing home loss to Georgia Tech, but I remained curious. That's why I tuned in to the radio broadcast a little after 9 p.m. Tuesday — to see how Pitt was faring against a good Miami team.
