Sparked by an Ontario Lett dunk, the Panthers pulled away from the Wildcats in their 71-59 victory Saturday.
After a sluggish first half, Pitt opened the second without much emotion or intensity. But in a span of six minutes and seven seconds, the Panthers put the pesky Wildcats away.
With Pitt leading only 36-33, Lett took a Chad Johnson feed from under the hoop and slammed the ball down with one hand, igniting the crowd of 6,798.
Julius Page then had a block resulting in a Brandin Knight fast-break layup to extend the lead to seven. Knight was excited as he pumped his fists in the air, daring the Wildcats to try and score again. Villanova coach Jay Wright then called a timeout to calm his players down, but that only fed the Panther frenzy.
