It was Pitt's lowest point total of the season and its most lopsided loss in seven years. \n\nThe Panthers recovered nicely against 14th-seeded Wright State, which was fresh from a 60-55 victory over Butler in the Horizon League championship game. The Raiders, behind the hot shooting of guard DaShaun Wood, had won 11 of their previous 12 games, including two over Butler, the fifth seed in the Midwest and a winner earlier in the day. \n\n \n \n HSBC Arena - Buffalo, N.Y 2007-03-15 5594 2499 USD 2010-03-10T00:02:48-07:00 30699021_0027 Pittsburgh Pitt Wright State Wright St. 2 Pittsburgh used a balanced attack with five players in double figures to defeat Horizon League champion Wright State. 2010-03-10T00:02:48-07:00 12 2007
