KEY GAME INFORMATION
W VIRGINIA: Last season: 28-9, lost to Gonzaga in West Regional semifinals
Who's gone: F Nathan Adrian, G Tarik Phillip, F Elijah Macon.
Who's back: G Jevon Carter, the reigning Big 12 defensive player of the year, averaged 13.5 points, five rebounds, 2.5 steals and was the team's top 3-pointer shooter last season; G Daxter Miles Jr. averaged 8.8 points; F Lamont West; F Sagaba Konate; G James Bolden, F Maciej Bender.
Who's new: 6-8 Wesley Harris averaged 18.2 points and 8.4 rebounds and 6-6 D'Angelo Hunter averaging 15.8 points and four rebounds in junior college; freshman F Teddy Allen was the top prep scorer in Nebraska, averaging 31.7 points at Boys Town.
The Skinny: West Virginia has finished second in the Big 12 the past two seasons and has been picked runner-up again to perennial power Kansas. But the Mountaineers will be without second-leading scorer Esa Ahmad for the first half of the season after he failed to meet NCAA eligibility requirements. That will put pressure on a group of forwards with one combined start to produce until he gets back.
PITTSBURGH: Last season: 16-17, first losing season since 1999-2000
Who's gone: F Michael Young, G/F Jamel Artis, G Cam Johnson, F Sheldon Jeter, G Chris Jones, C Rozelle Nix, G Jonathan Milligan, G Justice Kithcart, G Damon Wilson, F Corey Manigault.
Who's back: F Ryan Luther averaged 5.7 points and 3.9 rebounds last season; G Jonathan Milligan.
Who's new: Everybody else. G/F Jared Wilson-Frame averaged 14.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.9 assists for Northwest Florida State last season. G Marcus Carr averaged 9.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists for Montverde Academy (Florida) as a senior. F/C Terrell Brown averaged 16.1 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.8 blocks at Tilton School (N.H.). G/F Shamiel Stevenson, Canadian native averaged 14.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 blocks for Hillcrest Prep (Arizona).
The Skinny: Stallings basically blew up the program following a bumpy first season that saw the Panthers miss out on postseason play for the first time since 2000. Pitt's ability to compete this season is going to depend heavily on the reconstructed roster coming together quickly. Expectations are low. Pitt was picked to finish last in the conference, meaning any upward movement would be considered a success for a team that was an NCAA Tournament staple under Ben Howland and Jamie Dixon.
PREVIEW
No. 18 West Virginia, Pitt resume rivalry
 

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- None of the players for No. 18 West Virginia has ever faced Pittsburgh. In fact, none had yet been recruited by the Mountaineers at the time of the last Backyard Brawl, which occurred five years, nine months and 23 days ago.

And yet, all the West Virginia players comprehend the commotion around Saturday's renewal of the rivalry. The vulgar T-shirts in the student section still advise Pitt what to eat, and chants to the same effect still arise regardless who the Mountaineers are playing.

Conference realignment stopped the games but it hasn't diminished the lingering distaste between campuses that sit 76 miles apart. So, West Virginia coach Bob Huggins needn't give a history lesson.

"I don't think I have to because they're going to hear it all week," he said. "When the word 'Pitt' comes out of anywhere, you know what happens. They're not immune to hearing that."

The Brawl reconvenes with its adversaries in disparate conditions. West Virginia (8-1) looks every bit like a contender for the Big 12 title, while inexperienced Pitt (5-4) is living down to expectations of a team picked to finish last in the ACC.

The Panthers opened the season with losses to Navy and Montana and were crushed by Penn State 85-54. Average attendance for five games at the Petersen Events Center is only 2,767, about one-fifth of capacity.

A four-game winning streak hasn't reinvigorated the fan base, considering the victories came at the expense of Lehigh, High Point, Duquesne and Mount St. Mary's -- teams with a combined 10-19 record in Division I games.

Second-year coach Kevin Stallings faces pressure to rebuild Pitt to the status it enjoyed under predecessors Ben Howland and Jamie Dixon. That's a massive task with only two scholarship players returning, and the dysfunction showed Tuesday night when the Panthers blew a 13-point lead before surviving Mount St. Mary's 82-78 in overtime.

"I thought we did do well defensively in stretches, but I thought the second half was abysmal," Stallings said. "We just weren't locked in defensively in the second half, and I take responsibility for that."

While Stallings grapples with "a young team that's trying to figure it out," Huggins can lean on two veteran guards to stabilize the Mountaineers.

All-American candidate Jevon Carter (19.4 points, 5.7 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 4.7 steals) is filling box scores and frustrating opponents with relentless both ends of the court, and fellow senior Daxter Miles (14.6 points, 3.1 assists) seems to be realizing his potential.

They combined with sophomore Lamont West to score 57 points in Tuesday's 68-61 win over No. 15 Virginia. That made eight consecutive wins since a poor season-opening effort against Texas A&M, which Huggins called West Virginia's only mulligan entering the Big 12 round-robin.

"I have told the players all along after the Texas A&M game that we can't afford to lose another one -- not going into the league we're going into. You think about the 18 games we've got to play in that league and Kentucky" in the Big 12/SEC Challenge.

Pitt's roster features seven freshmen, two of whom start -- guard Marcus Carr (12. 0 points, 3.8 assists) and small forward Shamiel Stevenson (10.7 points, 5.2 rebounds)

Forward Ryan Luther, a 6-foot-9 senior, has evolved into a key component for the Panthers after making only two starts over his first three seasons. He's averaging 12.7 points and 9.9 rebounds while combining with junior college transfer Jared Wilson-Frame (12.9 points) to stretch the floor from 3-point range.
