Hail to Pitt
for winning the 2012 CBI Championship yesterday
PITTSBURGH—The Panthers captured their first post-season basketball tournament championship in their history by winning the College Basketball Invitational Friday night. They beat visiting Washington State 71-65 to take game three and win the best-of-three series, two games to one.
It's obviously not the tournament we're used to being in but we battled and the kids wanted to do more this year," Pitt head coach Jamie Dixon said. "They didn't feel they had done what they set out to do."
After qualifying for the NCAA Tournament every season for the last 10 years, the Panthers (22-17) had a major meltdown this season. They took a step back by accepting an invitation to play in the lower-tiered CBI Tournament, but made the most of the situation with the tourney win against the Cougars (19-18).
"You can't recover from an 0-8 stretch," Dixon said. "We tried our best and kept working. I’m proud of [the players] for that."
Pitt only committed 3 turnovers in the win. It was the least number of turnovers in a game since Dixon took over the team ten years ago. Tray Woodall dished seven assists and had no turnovers. He led Pitt in the scoring column with 17 points.
"We all wanted to play more games and end our season on a high note,” Woodall said. "We just have to be ready for next year and this was great preparation for next season.”
Lamar Patterson added 14 points including 6-for-6 from the free throw line. He also pulled down eight rebounds, dished five assists, had one steal, and only turned the ball over one time. He was awarded the tournament MVP.
“It was nice to win [the mvp] but a lot of guys stepped up," Patterson said. "I feel like coach trusted me much more and depended on me a lot more.”
Talib Zanna continued his solid performance in the tournament by adding 12 points, all in the second half. Nasir Robinson finished his Pitt career by scoring in double figures with 10 points. Ashton Gibbs, Pitt's top scorer, was not able to play.
Pitt took a 38-35 lead at the break but Washington State was never far behind. The Cougars tied the game five minutes into the second half 42-42 before the Panthers woke up and pulled ahead.
They tore off a 12-3 run and Washington State never got to within six points the rest of the game. Cougar head coach Ken Bone credited Pitt's defense and lack of turnovers as being keys to the loss.
Pitt did a great job of taking care of the ball," Bone said. "They did a really good job of guarding our sets."
WashingtonStatewas led by Reggie Moore with 18 points. Mike Ladd scored 12 and DaVonte' Lacy added 10. The Cougars' top scorer, Brock Motum, sat out the game as well with an injury. He missed all three games in the championship.
The Panthers will now start to prepare for next year in what could be their last season in the Big East Conference.
"The lineup I envisioned was never the lineup we had," Dixon said. "I think [CBI Tournament] will be something to go forward with."
lol That's for the teams that aren't good enough to get in the NIT right?
Pitt is the 101st best team in college basketball
