PITTSBURGH — Virginia Tech held Pitt senior Lamar Patterson without a point in regulation. The Hokies won the rebounding battle by 15 and held the 25th-ranked Panthers to 37 percent shooting. On most days that would be enough to pull an upset on the road, but the Panthers made some big plays late in regulation and escaped with a 62-57 victory in double overtime.

Junior guard Cameron Wright scored four of his 18 points in the second overtime to lead the Panthers (20-4, 8-3 Atlantic Coast Conference), who reached 20 victories for the 13th consecutive season.

Jarrell Eddie scored 15 points to lead Virginia Tech (8-15, 1-10), which lost its 10 straight. The Hokies have not won since New Year’s Eve when they beat Maryland Eastern Shore. Their one and only ACC victory came more than two months ago at Miami in the conference opener.

“You don’t want to lose to a team you’re supposed to beat,” said Patterson, who finished with five points on 1-for-9 shooting. “It was a tough game. We grinded it out. We just figured out a way to gut it out. That shows big growth.”

Virginia Tech had lost its previous four games by 20 points or more, but the Hokies were in position to win before allowing the Panthers to get back into it late. Pitt trailed by four points with less than a minute remaining, but the Panthers sent the game to overtime when James Robinson converted a four-point play with 33 seconds remaining after getting fouled by Eddie.

“I was just concentrating on making that shot more than drawing the foul,” said Robinson, who had 16 points, three assists and only one turnover.
