PITTSBURGH (AP) - Pitt fell to conference foe Notre Dame, 84-58, Saturday night at the Petersen Events Center.
Justin Champagnie led all scorers with 19 points and collected a game-high 11 rebounds. He also had two blocks and two steals for the evening. Ithiel Horton totaled nine points on 3-of-6 from three, while Abdoul Karim Coulibaly had six points and five boards.
Cormac Ryan matched a career high with 19 points, Prentiss Hubb added 17, and the duo combined for 10 3-pointers for the Irish. Notre Dame (6-9, 3-6 Atlantic Coast Conference) rebounded from a 62-51 loss to No. 20 Virginia Tech on Wednesday and has won three of its last four games. It was the largest margin of defeat this season for Pitt (8-5, 4-4) and its third straight loss.
Ryan and Hubb each made five 3-pointers. Hubb, who ranks second in assists (5.1) in the ACC behind Xavier Johnson (6.3), had nine assists against the Panthers. Johnson finished with five assists before fouling out. Dane Goodwin added 16 points and Juwan Durham had 14 for the Irish, who shot 56% percent (32 of 57) overall.
The Irish took the lead for good with about 11 minutes to play in the first half, led 41-29 at the break, and opened the second half on a 9-0 run.
Notre Dame hosts Wake Forest on Tuesday. Pitt plays Virginia Tech on Wednesday in the third of a four-game homestand.
