The Pitt Panthers were simply overmatched last night in Morgantown as the West Virginia Mountaineers cruised to a 70-51 win over the Panthers in Big East play yesterday. The loss was Pitts fourth in their last five games. To put it in perspective, the last time the Pitt men's basketball team lost four times in a five-game span, Kordell Stewart was the Steelers' quarterback and Mario Lemieux had just unretired for the Penguins. It was late January and early February 2001, under the guidance of second-year coach Ben Howland. Pitt was outrebounded by WVU 45-31 and put up 20 second chance points. Jermaine Dixon led the Panthers with 13 points and Ashton Gibbs had 11. After starting the Big East schedule with five consecutive victories, the Panthers are 6-4 in league play heading into Saturday night's game against Seton Hall.
