Pitt proved how hard it is to beat a team three times in the same season tonight. The Panthers lost their first BET game, falling to the Mountaineers 74-60.

Da’Sean Butler and Alex Ruoff had a great time at the party, scoring 34 points combine. Ruoff has gone two games with out knocking down a three, but still managed 18 with Butler putting up 16. 

Freshmen Devin Ebanks was the coolest kid in the building with a game-high 20 points. Ebanks went 10-for-11 from the foul line, helping the Mountiees shoot 90 percent overall after a foul.

Senior Sam Young led the Panthers with 15 points in what will most probably be the last time WVU and Pitt meet this season. Fellow seniors Levance Fields and Tyrell Biggs each scored six points in their final Backyard Brawl.*

 It might very well be the last time DeJuan Blair plays WVU as well. The sophomore scored 18 points in as many minutes due to early foul trouble.
