PITTSBURGH -- James Robinson and Jamel Artis scored 18 points apiece and No. 24 Pittsburgh held off Georgia Tech 89-84 victory on Wednesday night.
Robinson added eight assists for the Panthers (13-1, 2-0 ACC), who won their ninth straight behind a balanced attack even with second-leading scorer Michael Young limited early by foul trouble. Young finished with 17 points in just 18 minutes, one of five Pitt players in double figures.
Adam Smith led the Yellow Jackets (10-5, 0-2) with a career-high 30 points, including eight 3-pointers that allowed Georgia Tech to hang around after Pitt built a 15-point lead with less than 7 minutes to go.
