CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) Pittsburgh's Josh Newkirk saw the ball free on the floor about 10 feet from the basket and didn't know whether to drive to the basket or just put it up, so he let his instincts take over.

"I was just happy to pull up and it went in," said Newkirk, who's only jumper of the game forced overtime and rescued the Panthers who had trailed 67-62 in the final seconds. "It was my only shot, but the only shot I needed to hit."

Given new life, the Panthers (23-8, 11-7 Atlantic Coast Conference) quickly pushed out to a seven-point lead to win 83-78 in their first visit to Clemson.
