PITTSBURGH — In a contest featuring 10 ties and seven lead changes with no clear momentum shifts, Pittsburgh began to edge away on a Jamel Artis three-point play with 6:23 remaining. After Georgia Tech's Robert Sampson and Marcus Georges-Hunt tied the game on back-to-back scores with 6:40 to play, Pitt made its move with a defensive switch. The Panthers allowed just two points in the next five minutes to take control and beat Georgia Tech 70-65 Saturday.
