The Pitt alumni Zoo Crew team returned to The Basketball Tournament this year but suffered an early exit. The team lost to Sideline Cancer, a group playing to raise money and awareness for pancreatic cancer, falling 100-87.
The Basketball Tournament is a five-on-five event with the winning team taking home $2 million in prize money.
It was an upset of sorts as The Zoo Crew was a No. 5 seed and Sideline Cancer was a No. 12 seed. The Zoo Crew played a solid game and were led by Levance Fields, who poured in 35 points, easily leading all scorers.
