Pitt falls short at the end vs. Minnesota

Pitt falls short at the end vs. Minnesota

On Tuesday night at the Petersen Events Center, fresh off a loss to UMBC and facing a Big Ten team, Pitt did every one of those things. The Panthers held the Gophers to 37.3% shooting, out-rebounded Minnesota 40-33 and only committed 12 turnovers. Pitt led 53-50 with 2:56 left to play but didn’t score again after a Femi Odukale free throw, while the Panthers gave up consecutive second-chance shots to Minnesota in the final 30 seconds.
