West Virginia University’s chances at earning the No. 2 seed in the Big East Tournament are as slim as were the chances Thursday night for Pitt’s Ashton Gibbs to hit a 3-point buzzer beater to defeat Providence, which is just what he did.
The Mountaineers and the Panthers are engaged in a battle for that No. 2 seed — which means you don’t have to play No. 1 Syracuse until the final — and seemed to be getting a leg up when Providence led Pitt by a point with just 3.5 seconds left to play.
However, a coaching decision by Providence’s Keno Davis backfired. Rather guarding the inbound pass, to make it tough, and defending Gibbs, Providence gave a free inbounds pass, allowing the Panthers to hit Gibbs on the move, giving him time to get to the 3-point line and launch. Afraid to foul, they backed off defending the shot and Gibbs hit it.
