FIRST HALF
THEY CAN'T SUSTAIN THIS 100% 3PT AVERAGE ALL GAME, IMO
— PITT BSKTBL SHEUTING (@N_THEYSTAYTHERE) February 6, 2016
Mike Young drawing an early foul on Anthony Gill. Foul trouble for Virginia's best big man could be something to watch for.
— Brian Batko (@BrianBatko) February 6, 2016
Five minutes into the game, Pitt has been in the paint once. Virginia is so frustrating to play again
— Seth Gruen (@SethGruen) February 6, 2016
The @OaklandZoo really is something else. Incredible enthusiasm that translates through TV.
— Corey Cohen (@CoreyECohen) February 6, 2016
Keep leaving that 7-footer to guard Mike Young on his own. See how that works out.
— Mike (@85mf) February 6, 2016
Malcolm Brogdon almost killed a guy
— Josh Goodson (@joshwgoodson) February 6, 2016
Brogdon is good for a nasty dunk every time they play Pitt#UVAvsPITT
— Jack Fitzsimmons (@JackFitzWBOY) February 6, 2016
I already despise Brogdon
— Chris Dokish (@ChrisDokish) February 6, 2016
Brogdon doing just about whatever he wants early on
— Chris Gates (@Chris_Gates) February 6, 2016
Virginia is a better basketball team on both ends. This ends my analysis for today.
— Gavin Williams (@GavWill13) February 6, 2016
Today really gives you that nostalgic feeling of a big-time Pitt basketball game at the Pete, Zoo rocking. The stuff that never graduates.
— Brian Batko (@BrianBatko) February 6, 2016
— Justin Reese (@justinxreese) February 6, 2016
This is weird, it feels like Pitt is playing pretty well and also like they can't get closer than 5 or 6.
— Mike (@85mf) February 6, 2016
continential tire commercial during this pitt-uva game. bringing back great continental tire bowl memories
— Suburban Life Zach (@CzarOfPgh) February 6, 2016
It's 2:45 left in the first half and Pitt only has 1 time out left now. Two were used up by players in pressure situations.
— JD Schroeder (@Sta7ic) February 6, 2016
When Artis is feeling confident about his handle that dude is a problem.
— Mike (@85mf) February 6, 2016
Crowd is 100% back in this game now after the Artis layup and UVA offensive foul.
— JD Schroeder (@Sta7ic) February 6, 2016
IF YOU DROPPED A COW INTO THE ZOO RIGHT NOW IT'D BE A SKELETON WITHIN THIRTY SECONDS
— PITT BSKTBL SHEUTING (@N_THEYSTAYTHERE) February 6, 2016
And Pitt goes to halftime trailing by 2, which feels like a win.
— Chris Peak (@PantherLair) February 6, 2016
HALFTIME: VIRGINIA 29, PITT 27
TIME TO MAKE THIS HALFTIME MAJESTIC!
I'M GONNA GO MAKE A FROZEN PIZZA. IF YOU WANNA BE IN THE TWEETCAP SEND ME A STOCK PHOTO OF A HORSE

SECOND HALF
Sheldon Jeter with his first points since Pitt's first basket on a two-handed slam. I think he'll be needed this half.
— Brian Batko (@BrianBatko) February 6, 2016
Pitt with two bad turnovers the last two possessions.
— JD Schroeder (@Sta7ic) February 6, 2016
Brogdon & Hall with B2B 3's. Hoos back up 37-31. #UVAvsPITT

— Oakland Zoo (@OaklandZoo) February 6, 2016
"C'mon, Roy, wake up!" a UVA assistant yells to freshman Jarred Reuter, who couldn't get to a nice bounce pass from Perrantes.
— Brian Batko (@BrianBatko) February 6, 2016
Pitt's lineup prior to this timeout was Robinson-Johnson-Jones-Luther-NelsonOdoda. Down 11 points.
— Chris Peak (@PantherLair) February 6, 2016
Pitt's current line up has 1 point and 5 fouls between them.
— JD Schroeder (@Sta7ic) February 6, 2016
Jamel Artis should shoot possession. Robinson should never shoot
— Zach Vogel (@zvogel525) February 6, 2016
CHRIS JONES GET YOUR ASS TO THE BENCH. IF YOURE GONNA MAKE A TURNOVER GET BACK ON DEFENSE.
— Don't Tweet Recruits (@TheWillardYears) February 6, 2016
If you've got 38 points thru 32 minutes it's not one player that's the problem. Pitt sloppy across the board.
— Chris Gates (@Chris_Gates) February 6, 2016
— PITT BSKTBL SHEUTING (@N_THEYSTAYTHERE) February 6, 2016
When #Pitt loses, I REALLY hate Pitt fans. Like, REALLY hate them.
— Chris Bruno (@BrunoPittsburgh) February 6, 2016
If this margin holds, this would be the worst loss to a Top 10 team at home ever. Granted, there'd be only four of them but yeah.
— JD Schroeder (@Sta7ic) February 6, 2016
FINAL: VIRGINIA 64, PITT 50
