Yohan Traore is not in uniform.

The Panthers have lost their last three, and seven of their last night.

SMU enters the game 18-5 (9-3 ACC).
Pitt is 14-9 (5-7)

Pitt is not a team against which the Mustangs should rack up a lot of fouls. The Panthers rank first in the ACC and eighth in the country with a .793 free throw percentage (SMU is shooting .736 from the line)

Pitt is led in scoring by 6-3 guard Jaland Lowe (16.9 PPG) and 6-3 guard Ishmael Leggett (16.1 PPG)

Leggett and forward Cameron Corhen (6-10) lead in rebounds with 5.7 and 5.3, respectively

Tonight's game is big — especially for the Panthers. The contest counts as a Quad I game for Pitt, and a Quad II game for SMU.

In attendance at Moody Coliseum tonight: Dallas Mavericks GM Nico Harrison.

Pitt has a couple of Texas kids on their roster: Cameron Corhen from Allen and Jaland Lowe from Missouri City. Both are a couple of Pitt's top players

Also in attendance: Golden State Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy

But he's not at the table with other scouts — sitting with friends and family in floor seats.

Yiğitoğlu opens the scoring by losing the ball, getting it back and muscling through two defenders fora short jumper.

Pitt's Jaland Lowe answers — 2-2

Notice anything different?

Boopie Miller cut off his hair

Yiğitoğlu with a pair of FTs and a Cross 3 make it 7-2
