PITTSBURGH -- Redshirt freshman Travon Woodall led all scorers with 21 points on Sunday, as Pitt beat Coker College 83-40 at the Petersen Events Center in the Panthers' final tune-up before the start of the college basketball season.
Woodall shot 8-of-10 from the floor -- including 3-of-5 on 3-pointers -- in the exhibition victory over Coker, a Division II school from South Carolina.
Pitt's season opener against Wofford is scheduled for 8:10 p.m. Friday at the Petersen Center.
The Panthers are rebuilding with a younger team after losing top scorers Sam Young, DeJuan Blair and Levance Fields from the squad that advanced to the Elite Eight in last season's NCAA Tournament.
