Game 13: Pitt 58 Albany 46

Albany made 5 of their first 6 shots to start this game.  Pitt fell asleep for the first 10 minutes or so of the game.  Albany led 18-16 with 8 minutes left in the half, but then they decided to play like Albany.  They didn't  make another basket until 6 minutes were gone in the second half.  By that point it was 36-20 Pitt.  DJ Evans of Albany hit 3 three pointers in the second half to keep Albany close, but the contest was never in doubt.  Cameron Wright flirted with a triple double.  He had 14 points 8 rebounds and 8 assists to go along with 3 steals.  Apparently the only player to do that in Pitt basketball history was a woman named Laine Selwyn who did it twice the early 2000s.  The bench of Artis, Johnson, Randall, and Newkirk combined to shoot 4-14.  Johnson couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat at this point.  He was 1-7.  Pitt already beat NC State in their ACC opener at the time I'm writing this so that recap will be posted shortly after this one.  Here are some highlights of the Albany game:

Hail to Pitt,
