Zack Austin scored 10 of his 15 points in the second half and hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 2:35 remaining as Pittsburgh executed down the stretch and earned a 73-65 victory over visiting North Carolina on Tuesday night.

The Pitt Panthers fought hard with a good North Carolina team, and got the late victory at the Petersen Events Center, 73-65. Pitt makes it back-to-back wins, as they defeated rival Syracuse on the road on Jan.

North Carolina pushes tempo at one of the fastest paces in the land, looking to score in transition and get high-percentage looks at the rim. The Heels are also very active in the half-court set and fire up plenty of attempts early into the shot clock.
