NIT ROUNDUP George Washington advances past Pitt Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Mar. 17, 2015 at 8:41 PM By The Associated Press Posted Mar. 17, 2015 at 8:41 PM » Social News PITTSBURGH — Kethan Savage scored 17 points and Patricio Garino had 14 to lead George Washington to a 60-54 win over Pittsburgh in the first round of the NIT Tuesday. GW (22-12) advances to face the winner of Temple and Bucknell. Cameron Wright had 11 points for Pittsburgh (19-15) and Jamel Artis added 10.

The Colonials scored eight unanswered points to go back up 44-36.
