Witherspoon Jumper Gives Pitt OT Win Over Wake Forest

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Barry Dunning Jr. and Roman Siulepa each scored 15 points, Omari Witherspoon made a step-back jumper with 15 seconds left in overtime, and Pittsburgh beat Wake Forest 80-76 to end a three-game losing streak. Siulepa stole an inbounds pass along the sideline and raced the other way for a fast-break dunk to tie it at 66-all with 1:02 remaining in regulation. Wake Forest guard Juke Harris took the last shot of regulation, but his contested layup attempt was not close at the buzzer. Witherspoon was fouled after making a steal with 1:25 left in overtime and a review upgraded it a Flagrant 1, leading to two free throws and possession. Witherspoon went 1 of 2 from the free-throw line to pull within 76-75 and he was off on a 3-pointer.
