STANFORD, Calif. — – Ebuka Okorie<\/a> scored 34 points, his sixth 30-point game of the season, and Stanford rallied in the second half to defeat Pittsburgh 75-67 on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Cardinal (17-11, 6-9 ACC) shot 50% from the field and overcame a 34-32 halftime deficit behind a 28-point second half from Okorie. He added six rebounds, six assists and three steals while going 9 for 9 from the free-throw line. Benny Gealer<\/a> added 12 points, and Aidan Cammann<\/a> finished with 11 as Stanford went a perfect 10-for-10 shooting at the line.<\/p>\n

Pitt (10-18, 3-12) was led by Cameron Corhen<\/a>‘s 22 points and eight rebounds, while Barry Dunning Jr<\/a>. added 19 points on four 3-pointers.<\/p>\n

Pitt built a 63-57 advantage with 7:08 remaining before Stanford answered with a decisive stretch. Okorie scored nine points during an 11-1 run that gave the Cardinal a 68-64 lead with 3:27 left, including back-to-back 3-pointers.<\/p>\n

The Panthers cut the deficit to four on a Dunning 3-pointer with 1:44 remaining, but Stanford responded with a tip-in by Cammann and closed the game at the free-throw line, holding Pitt without a field goal over the final three minutes.<\/p>\n

The win snapped a two-game losing streak for the Cardinal.<\/p>\n
