NEW YORK, Dec. 20 (UPI) -- Levance Fields hit a three-pointer with four seconds remaining in overtime Thursday, giving Pittsburgh a 65-64 victory over Duke.
The ninth-ranked Panthers downed the seventh-rated Blue Devils at Madison Square Garden in a battle of unbeatens. Pittsburgh improved to 11-0 and Duke fell to 10-1.
Pittsburgh overcame a 12-point halftime deficit and took a two-point lead with 1:09 left in regulation on a Sam Young jump shot. Duke tied it with 56 seconds remaining when Gerald Henderson was good on a fade-away jumper.
The Blue Devils, however, missed a chance to win it in regulation when Kyle Singer failed to convert on a tip-in opportunity.
Singer made one of two free throws with 23 seconds left in overtime to give Duke a 64-62 lead, but Fields was perfect on a long-range shot for the win. Duke's Jon Scheyer and Nolan Smith both missed on their attempts to pull out a victory just before the buzzer.
Fields led Pittsburgh with 21 points and Young had 15. The Blue Devils were paced by Singer and Gerald Henderson with 17 each.
