Pitt coach Jeff Capel could not be more upset with how his Panthers played in their first road game Thursday.

West Virginia finished the first half on a 15-2 run and then scored the first 12 points in the second half in a 71-49 whitewashing.

The Panthers (3-1) will try to bounce back Monday when they host Bucknell (2-2).

"I'm disappointed in how we played," Capel said. "It was the first time on the road in a hostile environment, in a big-time game like this, and we didn't handle it well.

"We will learn from this, we will get better from this and it is something that will help us. But we gotta understand things that we need to improve."

Capel was concerned with the way the Panthers handled the big runs by West Virginia. The Panthers missed their last eight shots in the first half.
