Snowball Fight on Cathedral Lawn

Panthers Dominate in Rematch Against Seton Hall, Win 83-58

By Robert Krebner

On Saturday, the #21 ranked Pittsburgh Panthers (17-6, 7-4) played host to the Seton Hall Pirates, (12-9, 3-7) in a rematch from January 24th, which resulted in a 3 point Seton Hall win. This game, however, was entirely different as both teams started off looking to rebound from recent losses; Pitt came off a disastrous defeat to #6 West Virginia and Seton Hall found themselves unable to close out a tough finish to #2 Villanova. Although the attendance for the game lacked due to the recent blizzard, the Panthers’ performance certainly did not as they outplayed the Pirates in every aspect of the game from start to finish completing a monumental 83- 58 victory and a seventh Big East win.

Gilbert Brown led the team in scoring with 23 points while Gary McGhee also had a considerable game with 12 points and 11 rebounds. On the other hand, Seton Hall looked uncomfortable for most of the game and junior guard Jeremy Hazell, (the team’s leading scorer) showed no signs of coming close to his average of 23 points per game. He was contained to just 2 points in the game as the team was held to only 58 points and a measly 35.7 field goal percentage overall. When asked about the team’s highest scoring total of the season, junior forward Gilbert Brown replied, “I just tried to assert myself more in the game, and it just so happened to be in points. I think today is a prime example of how we need to move the ball and take better shots on offense.” “Moving the ball was something we emphasized the last two days and it showed with improvement today,” added Coach Jamie Dixon. The Panthers look to continue their success against Robert Morris on Monday, which will cap off their out of conference regular season play. Tipoff is at 8 p.m. from the Petersen Events Center.
