On Friday afternoon, Pitt advanced to 6-0 with a win over LSU at The Greenbrier tip off.
The Panthers’ returning guard duo of Jaland Lowe and Ishmael Leggett led the way in the win, with Cam Corhen and Zack Austin also playing big roles in the victory. Guard Damian Dunn fouled out of the contest after playing just 12 minutes, but the Panthers, with Austin and Beebah Cummings coming off the bench, were able to survive without one of their leading scorers.
With the win, Pitt moves to 6-0 on the season. The Panthers will now play against the winner of UCF Vs. Wisconsin on Sunday at 5:30 p.m., once again at The Greenbrier. The Tigers will now play at 3 p.m. on Sunday in the third-place game against the loser of UCF Vs. Wisconsin.
Check out the reaction from the Twitter community after Pitt’s sixth-straight win to begin the 2024-25 season.
Under-The-Radar Transfer: Pitt's Cameron Corhen.
Former FSU big man had 14 and 5 today against LSU.
Good chemistry with Jaland Lowe, too. https://t.co/gtO71nt0DV

Just saying, give Jeff Capel a roster with high-major talent and no lockeroom issues and you can see what he can do.

Pitt handles LSU at the Greenbrier behind a strong game from Jaland Lowe.
Really like their chance to emerge from a muddled middle of the pack in the ACC.
Panthers have a chance to put together a strong resume. Wisconsin/UCF up next + visits to Ohio State & Miss State.
Pitt…

Pitt over LSU by 11 to advance to the final of the Greenbrier Tip Off – Mountain Division!
Will face the winner of Wisconsin/UCF.
Is @Pitt_MBB a Top 3 team in the ACC as of today? I think so.

Pitt looks like the part. Really good balance and really good guard play with Jaland Lowe and Ish Leggett. Panthers advance past LSU in the first round of The Greenbrier Tip-Off. Wisconsin/UCF next on Sunday.

Really like this @Pitt_MBB team specifically in the backcourt. Panthers can play through Leggett/Lowe/Dunn at any given time. They’ve got roster continuity and scoring. And Jeff Capel’s teams always defend. A lot of good qualities to that roster.

jaland lowe is absolutely ridiculous man. i was high on him coming into this season and he has somehow exceeded everything i thought he was gonna be. Pitt will be a fun team to watch all season long

Say what you want about Pitt’s computer numbers right now. They have an NBA player who’s gonna win them games.
22 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists for Jaland Lowe.

Much better second half which resulted in a great win! Lowe calmed down and was UNBELIEVABLE! Got the W without having Dame for most of the game. Says a lot about this group of guys
— Tim McConkey (@steelcitytim412) November 22, 2024
Pitt got the ball in the paint much easier the 2nd half. Sometimes without having to dribble it there.
Much better shot selection.
Won the rebounding battle in the 2nd half and actually came out on top in the game by 1. https://t.co/edyveRIoho

And he was awesome in the 2nd half. That was the NBA prospect version of Jaland Lowe. https://t.co/ucFOekeODP
