March intensity. November precision. Scratch that, make it August.
No. 4 Pitt brought college basketball back Monday night with an up-and-down 83-75 win over Rhode Island, an opening round track meet of the 2K Sports Classic that wasn't over until Gilbert Brown blocked a Marquise James 3-pointer with 17 seconds to play.
Take a breather, Panthers, there's only five more months to go.
Brad Wanamaker scored a career-best 24 points and Ashton Gibbs added 22 to help the Panthers avoid what looked like it might be the first upset of the season as the Rams led by as many as eight points in the first half and were never quite out of it.
If the drama was there, the execution certainly wasn't.
