and we have some major developments. First is Justin Champagnie, who picked up two fouls before we hit the 17:12 mark in the first half, and will likely sit most of the rest of the first half on the bench to save him for the second half.

Additionally, Panthers are off to a surprising 10-5 early lead, with eight points coming from the paint, and two from the free throw line. That's what Pitt needs to do--find good, high-percentage looks--as a team that struggles mightily to shoot from deep.

Terrell Brown leads the Panthers so far with four points.
