PITTSBURGH -- James Robinson scored 22 points, including five free throws in the final minute to seal it as Pittsburgh escaped with an ugly 101-96 double-overtime win over Wake Forest on Tuesday night.
Chris Jones scored a career-high 23 points for the Panthers before fouling out in the second overtime. Jamel Artis and Michael Young added 19 points apiece as Pitt (18-7, 7-6 ACC) ended a three-game losing streak and narrowly avoided a loss that would have put a severe blow into its hopes of making the NCAA tournament.
Cornelius Hudson led the Demon Deacons (10-16, 1-13) with 22 points and Bryant Crawford had 20 but Wake Forest dropped its 11th straight conference game and has now lost 23 consecutive road games in the ACC.
