PITTSBURGH- Despite trailing by double digits near the midway point through the second half, the Pittsburgh Panthers once more conjured up a streak of magic, beating the #20 Miami Hurricanes by a score of 71-68. We’re running out of original ways to say “The Panthers came back and won” here at Cardiac Hill, but each time it truly is more beautiful to witness than the last. In front of the first announced sell-out crowd since a visit from Zion Williamson during his Duke days, the Panthers made an improbable turnaround on the back of a monster performance from Jamarius Burton (19 PTS, 10 REB, 7 AST) as well as Blake Hinson (21 PTS, 8 REB).
