 PITTSBURGH (AP) - Opponent after opponent tried to control 7-foot center Aaron Gray of Pittsburgh and failed. Aware of that dismal track record, Providence attempted another approach — and it didn't work, either.
Gray took control inside to finish with 22 points after sitting out much of the first half in foul trouble, and the seventh-ranked Panthers rallied to shake off stubborn Providence's upset bid and win 74-68 Saturday.
"He's a smart player and they know when to look for him," Providence coach Tim Welsh said. "We took the 3-pointers away from them but they made us pay inside."
