As printed in an article in the Tribune-Review:
Pitt’s two victories over ranked opponents Friday — the basketball team defeated No. 25 North Carolina earlier in the day at Petersen Events Center — got author and Pitt historian Sam Sciullo Jr. thinking:
“I can’t think of a same-day, football/basketball win combo to match this since Dec. 7, 1963,” he wrote in a text.
• Pitt defeated Penn State in football, 22-21, to finish 9-1.
• Pitt defeated Duquesne in basketball, 69-67 in overtime, in the Steel Bowl final at Fitzgerald Field House.
“If someone can come up with something better, bring it on,” Sciullo wrote.
