With a last second steal by junior guard James Robinson the Panthers took down the Fighting Irish 76-72 Saturday to end a three-game losing streak.

Robinson was one of four Panthers to score at least 14 points.  He would finish shooting 5 of 8, including nailing both shots from beyond the arc, while dishing out ten assists; it was his first career double-double.

The loss for Notre Dame (20-3) comes on the heels of  Wednesday’s 77-73 home victory over No.4 Duke. 

The Panthers (14-8) will have to show their true colors over the next month with upcoming matchups against Louisville, North Carolina and Virginia.  If Pittsburgh can take two of three they stand a chance of making a late push into the March Madness Tournament.
