Johnson scores 18 as Pitt rolls by Gardner-Webb 99-80
PITTSBURGH — Plenty of the numbers from Pittsburgh’s breezy 99-80 victory over Gardner-Webb looked pretty.
And none of them mattered to coach Kevin Stallings. Sure shooting 54 percent and never being challenged on Monday night was nice, especially three days after needing double-overtime to hold off Eastern Michigan in Stallings’ coaching debut with the Panthers. Yet Stallings is more concerned about whether his team is ready for a far sterner test on Thursday against SMU at Madison Square Garden in the 2K Classic.
