The Pitt Panthers men’s basketball team narrowly missed the 2024 NCAA Tournament, and their soft out-of-conference schedule was one of the biggest reasons why.
They tried to remedy that this season and beefed up their early-season games, including a true road game at Ohio State on Friday.
They not only gave themselves a big test against a power conference team on the road, but they also scored a huge 91-90 overtime win.
It certainly came with some drama.
Zack Austin gave Pitt the win with a dramatic, buzzer-beating three-pointer in overtime to help improve the Panthers to 7-1 on the season.
Have a look.
