NEWARK, N.J. -- Sheldon Jeter cant quite put his finger on why Pitt is giving up second half leads. Fortunately, he and the Panthers can continue to look for answers after a victory.Michael Young had 29 points and nine rebounds as Pittsburgh held on to defeat Penn State 81-73 on Saturday in the Never Forget Tribute Classic.To Pitt coach Kevin Stallings, it was d?j? vu.That looked like a lot of our games to me so far this year to me, Stallings said. Really good play on both ends in the first half. Second half, offensive play was probably good enough. Defensive play was not very good.Jamel Artis had 16 points and eight rebounds, Cameron Johnson scored 10 and Jeter added eight points, 10 rebounds and five blocked shots for Pitt.A 3-pointer by Ryan Luther gave the Panthers (8-2) a 50-26 lead with 16:50 to play but Penn State used an 11-2 run to trim its deficit to 15 about four minutes later. Shep Garner scored four points during a 6-0 spurt that pulled the Nittany Lions within five with 1:50 left but Jeter answered with a 3-pointer and they would get no closer.Sheldon is a great team guy.He probably hit the biggest shot of the game. They had the moment and he jumped up and he stuck that three in from the corner there, Stallings said. Biggest shot of the game probably for us.Mike Watkins had 17 points and a career-high 15 rebounds, while Tony Carr and Payton Banks scored 13 points apiece for Penn State (6-5). Garner added 12.A tale of two halves, Penn State coach Patrick Chambers said. Not sure where we were in the first half. Maybe the bus was late. But we showed up in the second half and competed like a Penn State basketball game.BIG PICTUREPenn State: After George Mason snapped Penn States four-game winning streak, the Nittany Lions have lost two in a row for the second time this season.
