NCAA Basketball Scores: #3 Pittsburgh Panthers Surge in Second Half to Drop #8 Georgetown Hoyas in Big East Battle

DeJuan Blair finished with 20 points and 17 rebounds, Sam Young and Tyrell Biggs each had 14 points and LeVance Fields dished out 8 assists to lead the #3 Pittsburgh Panthers (14-0, 2-0) past the #8 Georgetown Hoyas (10-2, 1-1) 70-54 in Big East action on Saturday.

Georgetown held a narrow 33-30 lead at the half and pushed their advantage to 37-32 early in the second before Pittsburgh finally pulled even after a Jessie Sapp three-pointer and a bucket from Austin Freeman. The Panthers managed to get some breathing room and led by ten with just over seven minutes left on the clock and then used a 9-0 run to move in front 66-47 with 3:47 remaining to bury the Hoyas.

Despite a dismal 3-19 shooting from beyond the arch the Panthers managed to hit 47.1% from the field and dominated the glass with a 43-17 advantage. Second chance points killed the Hoyas with 18 of the Panthers rebounds coming on the offensive end.
