No. 22 Pittsburgh 59, Miami (Fla.) 55 (OT): Lamar Patterson scored 10 of his game-high 25 points in overtime to help the visiting Panthers knock off the Hurricanes.

Cameron Wright scored 12 points and grabbed a career-high nine rebounds for Pittsburgh (19-4, 7-3 ACC), which moved into a share of third place in the conference standings alongside No. 11 Duke with the win. Talib Zanna added 10 points for the Panthers, who snapped a two-game losing streak.

Rion Brown's 21 points led Miami (11-11, 2-7) while Garrius Adams finished with 10 points and six rebounds. The Hurricanes, who fell to 0-5 at home in ACC play, didn't help themselves at the free-throw line where they made just 14-of-25 attempts.

Miami led for the majority the first half and matched its biggest lead at 28-23 on a pair of Manu Lecomte free throws with 1:29 to go. But Patterson, who missed his first four shots after going 7-of-28 from the field in Pittsburgh's two previous games, connected on back-to-back 3-pointers, the final one with two seconds left, to put the Panthers ahead at halftime 29-28.

The game see-sawed back and forth in the second half with Patterson giving the Panthers a 46-45 lead with 13 seconds to go with a driving layup only to have Lecomte force overtime a few seconds later when he sank the second of two free throws. Patterson put Pittsburgh ahead to stay midway through overtime with a layup and then sealed the victory with three free throws in the final 10.6 seconds.
