Providence upsets Pittsburgh

I know that this game doesn't include an Arkansas team, but this is a huge game. Providence, who needed this win to get into the NCAA Tournament. And on the other side is Pittsburgh, who is #1 in the USA Today and AP poll, #2 in my poll. Providence ended a 2 game losing streak with this win. Providence came out in the 1st half on fire and led 44-26 at halftime. In the 2nd half Pitt played a bit better and cut the lead as close as 7. Providence's scoring leader was Weyinmi Efejuku with 16 points, 3 rebounds and shot 33% from both the field and from behind the ark. DeJuan Blair led for the Panthers with 17 points, 8 rebounds and shot 66%. Blair fouled out with an illegal screen with 45 seconds left in the game.
