The abrupt ending to Pitt’s basketball season means a lot of things, but one that certainly needs recognized is Blake Hinson’s run as a Panther is over suddenly. In two seasons, Hinson proved to be one of the most prolific scorers in program history and was the key to Pitt’s resurgence with back-to-back 20-win seasons.

Hinson and the Panthers were riding high just days prior after beating Wake Forest on Thursday, but then the season came screeching to a halt when Pitt did not hear its name called to be in the NCAA Tournament, then declining an NIT big just moments later.

There was no warning, just a quick band-aid pull.
