PITTSBURGH (AP) --- Baye Ndongo had 23 points and 21 rebounds, Chase Foster
added 20 points and Pittsburgh rallied from a 13-point halftime deficit to beat
Buffalo 80-61 on Thursday night.

erasing the deficit. Jonathan Powell hit consecutive 3-pointers to pull within
53-52, and Naithan George made two free throws to give the Panthers their first
lead of the half at 54-53 with 8:59 remaining.
George had 16 points, seven assists and two steals, while Foster finished with
nine rebounds and two blocks.
Drew Steffe led Buffalo (0-2) with 15 points, four assists and three steals.
Syracuse transfer J.J. Starling added 13 points.
