Plenty of opposing coaches have praised the Panthers’ on court maturity this season, but none have done so the way Pastner did following Tuesday’s game. The Georgia Tech head coach pointed out that Pitt’s starting lineup is older than at least one team in the NBA.
“They’re an old group,” Pastner said. “I mean, their starting five is older than the Oklahoma City Thunder’s starting five. That goes a long way, especially in this league. Being old makes a big difference. Their veteran group made some key, timely shots when the game could’ve gone our direction.”
