PITTSBURGH -- Freshman guard Parker Stewart scored 13 points as Pitt made a late run to beat Towson 63-59 on Friday.
Towson led for almost 28 minutes, but couldn't close late, as Pitt made some key shots down the stretch. Freshman point guard Marcus Carr hit a contested 3-pointer as the shot clock expired with 2:18 left to tie the game.
He then drove the lane and fed a pass to Jonathan Milligan, who hit a floating layup to give Pitt a 61-59 lead with 52 seconds left. Milligan and Davis each made a free throw in the last eight seconds to seal the win.
