East Tennessee Gave Pitt All It Can Handle

Being an East Tennessee State University graduate I have to say the their performance against  Pittsburgh was excellent. Consider both teams shot under 40% for the game and committed numerous turnovers this was without a doubt one of the most interesting and hard fought games of the tournament. The score does not give justice to East Tennessee’s effort to become the first number 16 seed to win over a  number  1 seed in the history of the tournament. The final score was Pitt 72-62.

The game was in doubt  all the way to the 1:50 mark.   East Tennessee, a small college located in the Hills of Northeast Tennessee gave the Panthers all they could want before pulling away for the win.

Pitt will need to play  much better if it expect to advance  to the title game.
