TUCSON (AP) - Tamara Moore had 21 points and eight assists as No. 20 Wisconsin defeated Pittsburgh 92-75 in the first round of the Arizona Basketball Classic Friday night.

Wisconsin (4-1), who out-rebounded the Panthers 18-11 in the first half, used their size to take an early 11-0 lead.

Pittsburgh's second-half full-court press defense allowed Wisconsin's Jessie Stomski and Kyle Black to hit numerous uncontested layups.

Both players finished with 19 points, while Stomski added seven rebounds. Black hit five of six 3-pointers in the win.

Pittsburgh (2-3) was led by Brooke Stewart, who finished with 16 points and shot 7-for-11 from the field. Mandy Whittenmyer added 11 points for Pittsburgh, who shot just 5-for-17 (29.4 percent) from 3-point range in the loss.

Wisconsin will take on either Arizona or Holy Cross in the four-team tournament's championship game Sunday afternoon.
