Pitt staves off a couple of Mississippi State chances to win and survives 60-59
didnt see any of the game til end so does anyone know was this a well played game or not
Texas Corpus Christi also advances
Watched it all. First half was pretty well played. Miss St. was hot shooting out of the gate, Pitt bailed themselves out of bad possessions with threes.
Second half was a little scrappier. Pitt just really got around the ball and clogged up the paint; they let Miss St shoot and miss a lot of open jumpers.
First five mins I didn’t think Pitt’s bigs (two very tall / skinny identical twins), would survive against MSU’s physical style, but they settled in and played pretty well.
