PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh guard Travon Woodall would prefer to go by “Tray” this year.

If he keeps shooting the way he did in the 10th-ranked Panthers’ 89-56 win over Albany on Friday, “Trey” might be more appropriate.

Woodall scored 25 points on 5-of-7 3-point shooting, taking some of the heat off star teammate Ashton Gibbs as Pitt remained unbeaten in nine season openers under coach Jamie Dixon.

“I felt good, I’m working on something, working on my shot,” Woodall said. “I know a lot of guys will be keying on Ashton.”

The Great Danes included.

Albany spent all week trying to find ways to slow down Gibbs, the preseason Big East Player of the Year. He still scored 21 points, though it was the superb play of his backcourt mate that turned heads.

“Halfway through that game I thought Gibbs was wearing (Woodall’s number) the way Woodall shot the ball,” Albany coach Will Brown said.

Woodall’s previous career-high was 19 points against Wichita State two years ago as a freshman. He’s spent much of the last two seasons trying to get the ball to his more heralded teammates.

Yet the Panthers are rebuilding a bit in the frontcourt.
