• That's game. Pitt overcomes Lowe's absence to topple Miami and snap its four-game losing streak.
• Delalic hits a three and Miami answers quickly with one from Staton-McCray. Six-point game with under three minutes to go.
• Delalic up to a career high 11 points this afternoon.
• Couple offensive boards ultimately lead to a bucket by Delalic, who is up to nine points off the bench. A 10-point lead for Pitt, which is winning the rebounding battle by a 32-23 margin. They have 12 offensive rebounds and have scored 13 second-chance points. Panthers have limited the Hurricanes to zero second-chance points. They've also forced 10 turnovers and scored 13 points off turnovers.
• Leggett is providing the Panthers with exactly what they need. An efficient 6 for 9 from the field with 19 points and seven rebounds. Also has four assists and just two turnovers.
• Pitt's played pretty well defensively this afternoon. It's especially been stellar over the last four minutes in which they've held the Hurricanes without a field goal.
• Corhen gets fouled right before the media timeout. He'll head to the line when play resumes. Panthers have a five-point lead with 11:26 to go. Miami in a three-minute scoring drought. Pitt hasn't made a field goal in over two minutes.
• Teams are going back and forth here early in the second half. Panthers lead 41-37 with 15:01 to go.
• Delalic hits a three in the closing seconds to give Pitt a 32-30 lead at halftime. He had seven points in 10 minutes in the first half. Playing a big role. Also, this is just the third time Pitt has led an ACC game at the half. Other instances came against Stanford and Wake Forest.
• Have to give credit to Leggett. He's hit two big shots here down the stretch to cut this to a one-point game. Pitt now has possession with 19.2 seconds left in the half after a Cummings steal. Panthers with a chance to take the lead into the break.
• Delalic has already played more minutes today than he has in the last month and a half. Played 18 minutes against Cal on Jan. 1 with both Leggett and Dunn out of the lineup.
• It's a game of runs, and now Pitt is on one of its own. A 7-0 run has cut into this lead with just over six minutes left. Leggett has 10 points in 13 minutes to lead the Panthers.
• AmsalDelalic producing a bit here in the first half. Scored on a turnaround jumper and now dishes off a nice feed to Austin for the bucket. One-point game.
• Miami is 5 for 9 from three-point range and has converted on each of its last six shot attempts. Hurricanes lead 21-16 with 8:10 left in the half.
• Pitt cuts it to three on back-to-back buckets by Corhen and Leggett. The latter came off another forced turnover.
• Brutal defensive possession there. Leggett almost comes up with a steal, it goes right to a Miami player and then A.J. Staton-McCray hits a three. He now has hit threes on back-to-back possessions.
• Leggett hits a three for his first points of the game to tie it at 5-5 over five minutes in. With Lowe out, the Panthers really need a big offensive showing from Leggett.
• Jaland Lowe isn't taking part in pregame warmups. Appears as if he is indeed going to miss today's game after suffering a hit to the head against SMU on Tuesday. DamianDunn is also out there watching warmups with a sling on his left arm. Suffered that injury in the North Carolina game. Not the best road trip for the Panthers.
• All settled in here at the Petersen Events Center, as Pitt aims to snap its four-game skid.
