Pitt's inability to close games costs Panthers another heartbreaker to Louisville

Pitt basketball may find a way known to basketball to lose by a single possession. Coming into Wednesday night's game against Louisville at KFC YUM! Center in Louisville, Ky., three of Pitt's last four losses came by single point. After putting up a fight and going back-and-forth with the lead, Pitt faltered late against the Cardinals, losing 75-72 as Jamarius Burton couldn't knock down a buzzer beater three-pointer.

But the game was won and lost before that, as Louisville bounced back from Pitt's four-point lead in the second half to take control in the final three minutes when the Cardinals took the lead and never relinquished it back to the Panthers.
