Minor's late putback gives 15-seed Pitt 64-63 win over Stanford in opener of ACC Tournament
Pittsburgh outscored Stanford 25-7 in second-chance points and held a 20-7 edge on offensive rebounds to secure a narrow ACC Tournament win.
- On Tuesday, Damarco Minor followed his own miss to score with 0.7 seconds left, giving 15th-seeded Pittsburgh a 64-63 win over 10-seed Stanford in the ACC Tournament opener.
- Following a scramble after Minor's missed 3-pointer, Stanford freshman Ebuka Okorie completed a three-point play with 26.2 seconds left, putting Stanford ahead before Pitt recovered the ball.
- There were 11 lead changes and four ties, with Pitt's 20-7 offensive board advantage producing a 25-7 edge in second-chance points, helping secure the win.
- Minor's unlikely heroics sent 13-19 Pittsburgh into the second round to face seventh-seeded NC State on Wednesday, after a 81-72 loss to NC State on Jan. 24.
