• That's game. Panthers overcome a slow start to win their fifth straight. That's also 15 straight home wins. First time they've done that since 2012.
• AmsalDelalic getting his first dose of playing time tonight with less than five minutes left. All subs used here in the final minutes.
• Lowe three makes it 70-51 in favor of the Panthers with 5:57 left. He's up to 14 points. Leggett and Guillermo are also in double figures. Austin and Corhen also on the verge.
• Significant difference when it comes to points in the paint numbers tonight. Pitt with a 28-10 advantage in that category.
• Nifty behind-the-back putback there by Austin on a miss by Corhen. Wow. Pitt leads 61-44 with 7:44 remaining. Media timeout here.
• Austin just snatched a ball out of the hands of Tallis Toure on one end of the floor and drew a foul on the other end. Nice ovation for him. Hit both free throws, too. Strong sequence there.
• Panthers not making things easy for the Cardinal, who are just 1 for 7 from the field and 1 for 5 from three-point range here in the second half.
• Guillermo has joined Leggett (19) in double figures with 10 points. Lowe closing in with nine.
• Pitt on an 11-2 run in the first 4:15 of the second half. Stanford has converted on just two shot attempts since the 10:07 mark in the first half.
• Like they did against Cal, the Panthers are continuing the momentum they built in the first half to begin the second. Six straight points from Leggett, Austin and Guillermo. It's 44-30 Pitt with 17:56 left.
• Credit to the way Guillermo Diaz Graham played defensively against Raynaud in that first half. Was strong even during that stretch when the latter couldn't miss.
• Second half underway.
• Quite the turnaround for the Panthers, who trailed 24-15 with just over eight minutes to go. They went on a 23-6 run in the final 7:43. Leggett had nine of his 13 points during that run, which also included the two threes from Jorge Diaz Graham, five points from Lowe and a three by Austin.
• Lowe hits a three in the final seconds to give Pitt an eight-point edge at the half.
• Jorge Diaz Graham once again making the most of his minutes off the bench. He's hit two big threes during this late surge by the Panthers. Just hit one from the corner to a large eruption from the crowd.
• Leggett has 11 points on 5-of-8 shooting here in the first half.
• Only two points for Lowe, who has had a rough start. He's 1 for 5 from the field, 0 for 2 from three-point range and has committed three turnovers.
• Panthers starting to lock down defensively and convert on their offensive opportunities. They've now converted on six straight shot attempts.
• Pitt on a quick 6-0 run over the last 40 seconds. Jorge Diaz Graham just hit a three to cut the Stanford lead to one with 6:11 to go in the first.
• Panthers have held the Cardinal without a field goal over the last 3:20. Meanwhile, Pitt has converted on its last three shot attempts to make it a four-point game. Leggett just completed a three-point play to accomplish that.
• Austin picks up his second foul with seven minutes remaining. Guillermo Diaz Graham replaces him on the floor.
• Austin three cuts Pitt's deficit to 24-18 with under eight minutes to go in the half.
• Don't think we're going to see Dunn at all here tonight. But certainly an encouraging sign of his progress that he was able to do what he did pregame.
• Four early turnovers for Pitt, too. Stanford with seven points off of those mistakes.
• Panthers shooting rather poorly here to start. Just 6 for 15 (40%) from the field. Stanford is 9 for 15 (60%). Pitt trails 22-13 with 9:51 to go.
• Stanford on a 14-2 run over the last four and a half minutes.
• Raynaud is leading the charge for Stanford here in the early going. Nine points on 4 for 4 shooting.
• BrandinCummings preparing to check in for the first time tonight.
• All tied at 7-7 at the first media timeout with 15:49 left in the half. Panthers are 3 for 7 from the floor in the early going. Leggett has missed a pair of threes and Austin was off on one of his own.
• Leggett gets his first bucket of the night with a jumper in the paint. Showed some emotion afterwards. Has to be thrilled to be back out there after missing the Cal game.
• First bucket belonged to Corhen, but Raynaud showed off his range with a deep two to answer back.
• We're underway here in Oakland. Panthers control the opening tip. I know there's football on tonight, but glad to have you here.
• Stanford's starting five: Oziyah Sellers, Ryan Agarwal, Jaylen Blakes, Maxime Raynaud and AidanCammann.
• Damian Dunn participated in pregame warmups, too. We'll see if he'll get any significant playing time tonight after missing the last six games.
• IshmaelLeggett is back in Pitt's starting lineup after missing one game due to an ankle injury. The Panthers' other starters: Cameron Corhen, Jaland Lowe, Guillermo Diaz Graham and Zack Austin.
