No. 20: The ‘Cat that sunk Pittsburgh

East Regional finals, March 28, 2009 — The Panthers were trying for their first Final Four berth since 1941, but Scottie Reynolds’ mad dash to the hoop ended those dreams. Dante Cunningham received the in-bounds pass, but dished it to a sprinting Reyolds, who went nearly the entire length of the court and into the lane, where he hit an off-balance jumper for the 78-76 win.

The funny thing is Pitt went down again yesterday early in the NCAA Tournament and this time by one point to Butler. I will be surprised if Arkansas does not go after Butler’s coach this year.
