• Leggett misses a wide open layup with around 30 seconds to go. Georgia Tech gets the rebound and goes the other way for two. Georgia Tech leads 71-67 with 18.5 seconds to go.
• Two more from the line for Tech. Still haven't scored a field goal since the 9:49 mark. Perfect 15 for 15 from the line since then. Two-point game with under a minute left.
• Lowe knocks one down from long range. Tie game again.
• Panthers locking down more on defense these last two possessions. Force a shot-clock violation and now a jump ball.
• Finally a field goal. First in almost four minutes. Lowe converts inside to make it a three-point game with 1:38 to go.
• Refs are getting good use out of those whistles. We haven't had a made field goal since that Cummings three. It's been over two minutes. Feels like forever ago, though.
• Georgia Tech just getting all of these opportunities at the line. And they can't miss. Nine straight since that Cummings three.
• Now Corhen fouls out with 3:55 left. Significant loss for this stretch run. Georgia Tech leads 63-59. Yellow Jackets haven't converted on a field goal in the last six minutes. But they've managed to retake the lead on five straight conversions from the free-throw line.
• Capel is irate. Wanted a foul when Lowe was taken down at their end and Georgia Tech gets the benefit of a foul called on the other end of the floor. Bad foul for Corhen to take there. Gives Mustaf three shots from the line.
• BrandinCummings hits a three to give Pitt its first lead since it was 2-0. First points of the night come at a huge time. Still around five minutes left.
• Pitt rallying back again behind seven unanswered points from Lowe. Four shots from the free-throw line and now a huge three to cut the deficit to 56-54 with 6:33 to go.
• Pitt trails 56-47 with 7:50 to go. Those threes by Powell, especially the last one with Corhen in his face, were serious momentum killers. Pitt was down five on each occasion
• Powell has 26 points. Went 1 for 11 from the field and 0 for 6 from three-point range in Georgia Tech's last game against Boston College. Previous high for threes in a game was three against Cal on Feb. 15.
• Powell hits another three from the corner and, again, draws the foul. Pitt just hurting itself constantly. Powell is 6 for 9 from three-point range. Completes his second four-point play to make it 52-43 Georgia Tech.
• Lowe, Diaz Graham and Austin are a combined 6 for 23 from the field. Just 2 for 15 from three-point range.
• Panthers have scored five unanswered since that four-point play by Powell. Georgia Tech in a nearly three-minute drought. Pitt trails 46-42 with 11:42 left.
• Powell continues to be a threat from long range. He's now 5 for 8 from deep after hitting a corner three and drawing a foul. Up to 22 points.
• Corhen starting to heat up. Perfect 5 for 5 from the field and 10 points. He finishes inside and draws the foul. He'll head to the line for one shot when play resumes. Pitt down 42-37 with 14:58 on the clock.
• Georgia Tech capitalizes on the other end. Powell easily split two defenders and finished at the rim.
• Not sure why Lowe didn't just finish that on the fast break. Elected to pass it back and it turns into a turnover instead of two points.
• Austin almost posterized JaedenMustaf. Draws the foul instead.
• Second half underway.
• Leggett (12) and Lowe (8) combined for 20 of Pitt's 30 first-half points. Diaz Graham and Austin were a combined 2 for 7 from the field in the half. Corhen was 2 for 2. Would like to see the latter get more opportunities inside, especially coming off his season-high 20 points against the Fighting Irish.
• Georgia Tech holds an 18-12 edge on the boards at the half. Yellow Jackets have benefitted from 11 second-chance points, compared to just two for Pitt.
• Austin hits a three in the final seconds to cut Pitt's deficit to five heading into the break. Huge shot.
• Pitt has possession down eight with 34 seconds left in the half. An 11-second difference between the shot clock and the game clock. Can't have an empty possession here. Have to get points and then get a quick stop. Can't afford to see this deficit grow larger heading into the break.
• All of a sudden, in like 40 seconds, Georgia Tech scores five quick points and is up eight.
• Missed opportunity there for Pitt. Austin steal and Lowe can't tie the game with a three. Instead, Georgia Tech gets the rebound and Terry hits a three on the other end. Six-point game.
• DamarHamlin in the house tonight.
• Panthers trail 30-23 with 3:56 remaining until halftime. Rebounding edge has shrunk, but Georgia Tech still holds a 14-10 advantage there. Pitt shooting 41% from the field. They're scoreless over the last three minutes, but Georgia Tech is also scoreless over the last two.
• Pitt has cut its deficit to four with under eight minutes left in the half. Another three from Leggett, who is up to 10 points.
• Five straight points for the Panthers now. Jumper by Corhen and a three by Leggett. Pitt trails 20-13 with 10:09 left.
• Score is the way it is in large part due to Pitt's inability to rebound the basketball. Just an ugly start in that regard. Only one on the offensive end. Two in the game. Georgia Tech up to 11. They've benefitted from a ton of opportunities at second-chance points. Six of them.
• Souare being helped off the floor. Not putting wait on his left leg.
• Pitt trails 9-4 with 15:47 left in the first half. Yellow Jackets are 3 for 6 from the field and have out-rebounded the Panthers by a 6-1 margin. Pitt is just 1 for 5 from the field.
• Pitt has had some open looks here in the early going. Wide open threes by Diaz Graham and Austin, but couldn't convert.
• Oh, and rebound.
• Two baskets allowed on the first two shot attempts. Keeping pace offensively isn't going to be an issue here. Have to be prepared to get stops early.
• Underway here at the Pete. Let's see what kind of start Pitt gets out to tonight.
