NEW YORK (AP) Pittsburgh fell 76-67 to SMU in the first semifinal of the 2K Classic at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night.
Michael Young scored 22 points for Pittsburgh, which had averaged 96 points in home wins over Eastern Michigan and Gardner Webb. Jamel Artis added 20 for the Panthers (2-1).
The Mustangs held a 54-45 lead when Semi Ojeleye hit a 3-pointer with about 12 minutes left. The Panthers were within 63-59 following two free throws by Young with 4:52 left but the Mustangs gradually finished it off, starting with a two-handed dunk by Nic Moore on the next possession. Ojeleye then polished off his big night with a block of Young with about a minute remaining and converted a transition layup on the next possession.
