    导出博客文章PITTSBURGH -- Jamel Artis scored a season-high 31 points as Pittsburgh survived
    18 turnovers to hold off Rice, 83-73, Saturday night.Artis hit 10 of 14 from the
    floor and also contributed 7 of 9 from the free-throw line for his best
    performance since scoring 32 against Bryant in 2015. Bench forward Ryan Luther
    also had a big game for Pitt (9-2), scoring 20 points to set a career high and
    leading the team with seven rebounds.I just tried to come out aggressive, Luther
    said. Obviously, every night, people are going to be drawn to Jamel and (Michael
    Young). My teammates did a good job finding me.Rice (8-3) got big production
    from the backcourt, as Marcus Jackson scored 20 and Marcus Evans had 19. The
    Owls shot 38.5 percent from 3-point range but just 42.9 percent overall and were
    outscored in the paint, 28-26.The big reason the Owls were able to keep the game
    close was an aggressive defense that got eight steals from five different
    players and also drew several offensive fouls.BIG PICTUREPitt: With the Panthers
    having allowed big nights from opposing forwards in two straight games and Rices
    Egor Koulechov coming in averaging 19.4 points per game, the Russian seemed
    primed to have a big night. But Pitt was able to contain him for 13 points on
    6-of-13 shooting. Artis said Pitt was focused on defending Koulechov, especially
    at the 3-point line, where he went 1 for 4.Rice: The Owls have played just two
    major-conference opponents this season, and both were close games down the
    stretch. They lost, 85-84 to Texas Tech earlier this month. These two games show
    the potential of the young Owls, who feature just one senior and three juniors.
    Head coach Mike Rhoads was pleased that his team didnt back down on the road.Im
    going to recruit guys with edges that think they can come to Pitt and win the
    game, Rhoads said. With 2:30 left, we still felt we were going to win the game.
    Thats never going to change.TURNING POINTThe Owls used five consecutive Pitt
    turnovers to go on a 9-0 run and tie the game at 50-50 with 11:48 to play, but
    it was Artis who came through for Pitt with a big 3-pointer to break the run,
    then added a layup on the following possession to re-build a five point lead for
    the Panthers.STAR WATCHRice was able to contain Young, who has led Pitt in
    scoring in nine of the teams 10 games coming in, but finished with just 12
    points.They were all packed in, head coach Kevin Stallings said. It was like
    four guys were in the lane, one guy was sort of near the ball and whenever Mike
    got it, it was just a crowd.STAT OF THE NIGHTRice shot 56.5 percent from the
    free-throw line with Evans, who is a 78.6 career free-throw shooter, going 8 of
    14.UP NEXTPitt: Continues a season-long five-game home stand with a visit from
    Nebraska-Omaha on Wednesday. The Panthers have won seven straight home games
    dating back to last season.Rice: Returns home to face Northwestern (La.) State
    on Monday. The Owls are 4-1 at home this season.
