PITTSBURGH (Ticker) -- DeJuan Blair has enjoyed Pittsburgh's early season schedule.
The sophomore big man looks to lead the fourth-ranked Panthers to another win when they host Belmont on Tuesday.
After earning Big East Rookie of the Year honors last season, Blair has feasted on Pittsburgh's opponents during the new campaign.
Blair had 27 points and 18 rebounds in Pittsburgh's 86-60 triumph over Division II Indiana, Pennsylvania on Saturday. The 6-7, 265 pound forward is averaging 17.5 points and 13.3 rebounds this season.
The Panthers (4-0) enter the game with a 32-game home winning streak against non-conference opponents, and the team is 28-0 in the month of November under coach Jamie Dixon.
Belmont (1-1), which is the reigning Atlantic Sun Conference champions, have not played since an 86-64 loss to Austin Peay on November 17.
Andy Wicke leads four players averaging in double figures at 13.5 points per game for the Bruins, who have attempted 56 shots from the arc in their first two contests.
