College basketball roundup bag their wants By KEN RAPPOPORT AP Sports Writer Ron Brown wanted to beat Pitt for revenge. John Bach wanted to beat Pitt for recognition Although for different reasons, both player and coach got what they wanted after Penn State upset the seventh ranked Panthers 66 64 in college basketball Saturday. "It was a personal revenge I had with Billy Knight (the Pitt star)," said Brown after his shot at the end stopped the Panthers' marvelous, 22 game winning streak.

Brown played Knight one on one and overshadowed his opponent, scoring 32 points, including his dramatic game winner at the buzzer. Brown connected on 14 of 20 shots from the floor while Knight could only manage 5 of 16 and 12 points "They said Knight had a bruised shoulder, but he didn't do anything out there today," said Brown If Brown exulted in the victory, so did Bach. He's been trying to put Penn State in the spotlight ever since he left Fordham several years ago. "In all my 24 years of coaching, I can't remember anything which has meant more to a team than this," said a happy Bach, whose club has a modest 14 10 record this year.
