There are lots of recaps out there from yesterday’s game. Here area a few links:
From the Asheville Citizen-Times‘ Keith Jarrett:
But too much talent, size and experience from Pittsburgh brought an end to the Bulldogs’ stirring late-season run as the Panthers cruised to a 74-51 win in the second round of the Southeast Regional at the Verizon Center.
From Philly.com:
N.C.-Asheville, which downed Arkansas-Little Rock in a first-round game on Tuesday, came ready to play against Pittsburgh. But all the Bulldogs got for their effort was a 74-51 defeat that ended the Big South champions’ season.
Pitt had a five-point edge at halftime against a Bulldogs squad that showed no signs of being intimidated by its Big East Conference opponent, although the physical Panthers outrebounded their foes by 44-24.
From nbssports.msnbc.com:
Along the way, the Panthers showed the scrappy Big South champions what physical Big East basketball is all about, out-rebounding the Bulldogs 50-27 to make up for a so-so shooting game by nearly everyone but Ashton Gibbs.
He scored 20 of his 26 points after halftime, went 4 for 5 from 3-point range in the second half and scored seven points in the 13-5 run that eventually put the game away. Gibbs finished two points off his career high, set in a quarterfinal loss to UConn in the Big East tournament.
