MSG a Pitt of destruction
NEW YORK — Seeding doesn’t matter. Fatigue doesn’t matter. Getting outrebounded by 15 doesn’t matter. The only two things that seem to matter in the Big East Tournament is that Pittsburgh is playing and it’s at the Garden.
This was surely the year that Pittsburgh was not going to get back to another Big East final. As a No. 7 seed and having to play on the first day of the tournament, the odds were against Jamie Dixon’s team. But the Panthers played the odds like experienced Vegas bettors and will again play on the last day of the Big East Tournament after a 68-61 win over Marquette on Friday night.
On Saturday night, the Panthers will play in their seventh Big East Tournament final in eight seasons — an accomplishment almost impossible to imagine in and of itself, but even more so considering what Pittsburgh has been through this season.
