Pittsburgh then fouled Matt Howard, who grabbed the rebound and threw a desperation shot at the opposite hoop. (Read More…)

Pittsburgh Panthers point guard Ashton Gibbs could miss significant time after tearing his left MCL.
Gibbs is expected to miss anywhere from 10-14 days, but could be out slightly longer if the team wants to be extra cautious.
The injury comes at the worst of times as the Panthers have road games at West Virginia and Villanova this week.
It will certainly be a challenge to win both of those games, and a split would probably be a great accomplishment. (Read More…)
