PITTSBURGH -- Freshman point guard Marcus Carr had three chances to win the game for Pittsburgh in the Panthers' 82-78 overtime victory overt Mount St. Mary's on Tuesday.
He made a layup with 25 seconds left in regulation that put Pitt ahead, but the Mountaineers tied it with six seconds left on reserve forward Bobby Planutis' basket on an in-bounds play.
Carr got the ball back for a final attempt in regulation, but his 3-point shot sailed wide.
In overtime, Pitt shot just 1 of 5 from the floor, but it was Carr's trips to the free-throw line that proved crucial.
