Pitt finally landed on the winning side of a last-second win in its 59-57 win over St. John's at Madison Square Garden Saturday.
After losing three of its last four, two of those coming in last-second buzzer beaters against Minnesota and Virginia, Pitt got a heroic finish from Jamarius Burton, who led the Panthers with 20 points.
For the first 16 minutes of the second half, Pitt had only held a lead for a brief 17 seconds as St. John's controlled a close game. But with about four minutes to go, Burton led a 7-2 run that featured six consecutive made free throws from him to push Pitt to a 57-55 lead with just 16 seconds left.
