• Louisville makes it a two-possession game in the final seconds and that's game.
• Hadley misses a three with the shot clock ticking down and gets his own rebound to restart the shot clock. Big missed opportunity there.
• Smith has scored eight straight points and hit two threes here in the last three minutes for Louisville. Leggett answered with a three, so it's now 80-78 with under a minute to go.
• Corner three from Austin gives Pitt a 73-72 lead with under three minutes to go. Crowd erupts.
• Lowe remains perfect from the line. Two-point game.
• Pitt trails 72-67 at the media timeout with 3:32 left. Lowe was fouled on a three-point attempt prior, so he'll head to the line for three shots when play resumes.
• Dunn starting to get hot from long range. Hit his third three-pointer of the half to make it a two-point game.
• Short 7-0 run for the Cardinals. Hadley with five points during the spurt. Louisville leads 67-62 with 4:56 to go.
• Panthers need to get some defensive stops and then continue to work the ball around and look for those high-percentage shots.
• Really good ball movement there by the Panthers. Lowe ends up kicking it out to Leggett, who delivers one more pass to Dunn for an open three and a Pitt lead at 62-60 with 6:59 to go. Dunn now up to 12 points and seven rebounds. Making a significant impact in his second game back.
• Louisville isn't letting Pitt gain any momentum. Dunn fights through contact to convert inside on one end and the Cardinals get an easy bucket on the other end.
• Lowe taking over here in the second half. Has 10 of his 19 points and is 6 for 6 from the free-throw line. Pitt leads 52-50 with 11:17 to go.
• Once again, Louisville tracks down an offensive rebound and it results in a make from long range. Seems to be the trend today. A total of 15 offensive rebounds and 20 second-chance points.
• Quick 6-0 run for the Panthers over a 24-second span and they're ahead once again at 44-43 with 15:22 to go. Leggett hits from deep and Dunn is up to seven points after hitting his first three of the day. Also has six rebounds to lead the team.
• Panthers staying within reach, but they just haven't been able to really stack up defensive stops until now.
• Offensive rebounds still a rarity for the Panthers. Mostly one-and-done following misses on the offensive end of the floor.
• Second half underway.
• Biggest difference is on the boards. Cardinals with a 23-16 advantage, including a 10-2 edge in offensive rebounds. Louisville had 14 second-chance points compared to three for Pitt.
• Panthers finished the half shooting 48% from the field. Louisville was at 40%. Cardinals were just 4 for 19 from three-point range.
• Lowe hits two from the free-throw line to make it a one-point game heading into halftime.
• Some questionable calls here in this first half. That one called against Guillermo was one of them. Pretty clear travel, in my opinion.
• Lowe called for a charge right before the media timeout. Second foul. Crowd and those on the Panthers' bench didn't like it when it happened or when getting a second look at the replay. Cardinals lead 31-28 with 3:14 left before halftime.
• Nicely done there by Dunn to make this a two-point game. Drove to the basket, drew some contact -- didn't draw a foul -- and converted inside.
• The six-plus minute scoring drought is over for the Panthers. Bucket by Corhen. Nice feed inside from Leggett.
• Six offensive rebounds for the Cardinals compared to just two for the Panthers. Seven second-chance points, including three on a shot by Edwards that made it a four-point lead for Louisville.
• Cardinals have rallied back and the Panthers are back amidst a scoring drought. A 9-0 run over the last 2:50 for Louisville. Pitt has missed on its last five attempts from the field. Visitors lead 19-18 with 9:27 remaining in the half.
• Hadley picks up his second foul and heads to the Louisville bench. That's big. A guy who is averaging 11.6 points and 7.9 rebounds per game for the Cardinals.
• Corhen has scored four of the last seven points during a 15-2 run for the Panthers. That surge has spanned the last three and a half minutes. Panthers have converted on each of their last four shot attempts. It's 15-7 with 13:27 left in the first.
• Panthers on an 8-0 run over the last two minutes after a three by Leggett. Louisville can't buy a bucket right now. Scoreless over the last two and a half minutes.
• DamianDunn subs in for the first time, replacing Corhen.
• Pitt quickly responds to tie the game at 5-5 behind a jumper from Lowe and a three-point play by Corhen.
• Sloppy start here for the Panthers. Couple of turnovers, failure to rebound and some missed open shots.
• Greetings from the Petersen Events Center for the start of a busy Saturday for Pittsburgh sports. I'll have coverage of this ACC matchup throughout the afternoon.
