Hoops notebook: Road tough, bouncing back, and more

The Pitt Panthers scored a hard-fought 64-59 win over Virginia Tech on Saturday in Blacksburg. Pitt needed a late push from its star point guard Jaland Lowe, who scored 11 of his 19 points in the final minutes. Pitt stunk last Wednesday night when it got demolished by Mississippi State 90-57 in Starkville.
