DAYTON, OHIO- In what was a 40-minute coronary exercise masquerading as a basketball game, the Pittsburgh Panthers advanced to the round of 64 with a 60-59 win over Mississippi State. It was a team effort all around, fan support included. Nelly Cummings led the Panthers with 15 points and 4 assists, while Greg Elliott added 13 and Blake Hinson added 12. With this win, Pitt advances to face Iowa State on Friday in Greensboro. This marks the Panther’s first tournament win in nine years.
KEEP.
