PITTSBURGH (AP) -Shayla Scott converted a three-point play and made two free throws during a decisive 14-0 run during the second half and No. 19 Pittsburgh overcame some sub-par shooting to beat Cincinnati 68-53 on Saturday. Shavonte Zellous and Xenia Stewart scored 16 points each for the Panthers (20-5, 10-3 in Big East), who assured themselves of a fourth consecutive 20-win season. Zellous made only 6 of 22 shots while being held seven points below her 23.0 average, but also had six rebounds and five assists. The Panthers withstood their 36.9 percent shooting (24 of 65) by holding a 43-26 advantage in rebounding. Pitt led 41-40 following Kahla Roudebush’s layup for Cincinnati (13-13, 3-10) with 14:10 remaining before outscoring the Bearcats 22-3 over the next nine minutes, a stretch that included the 14-0 run. Jill Stephens scored 17 points for Cincinnati.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - Shavonte Zellous scored 25 points, overcoming first-half foul trouble, to help No. 15 Pittsburgh beat West Virginia 72-60 on Tuesday night. The Panthers (21-5, 11-3 Big East) were down by 12 in the first half, but used a 44-point second half to win for the 10th time in their past 11 games. Zellous picked up her second foul with 12:18 remaining in the first half and was forced to sit for the next seven minutes as her team cut the deficit to eight. She returned with 5:19 left in the half and the Panthers went into the locker room up 2827. Pitt started the second half with six consecutive points, but West Virginia (15-12, 3-10) wouldn’t go away as Takisha Granberry made a 3-pointer to halt Pitt’s momentum. With the Mountaineers leading by two, Zellous’ layup started a 12-0 run to seal the victory. Liz Repella scord 17 points and Granberry added 16 for West Virginia. Pitt ended the game on a 15-7 run to secure the victory and clinched at least a No. 3 seed for the Big East Tournament.
