MEN

No. 5 Pittsburgh 83, Providence 79

PROVIDENCE, R.I.

Gary McGhee scored all of his 13 points in the second half, grabbing a key rebound and making two free throws with 18 seconds left to help Pittsburgh. Gilbert Brown scored 17 points in the first half, but he ran into foul trouble in the second and finished with 19. That meant the rest of the Panthers (14-1, 2-0 Big East) had to help out, and McGhee was the one who came through. After Pitt took a 77-76 lead on Travon Woodall’s 3-pointer with 35 seconds left, Gerard Coleman put a 3-pointer off the back of the rim and McGhee outjumped two Friars for his ninth rebound. He was fouled in the fight for the ball, and he made both free throws to clinch it.
