PITTSBURGH (AP) Quentin Snider scored 14 points, Damion Lee added 13 and No. 11 Louisville pulled away from Pittsburgh in the final minutes of a 67-60 victory Wednesday night.

The Cardinals (22-6, 11-4 ACC) made their last nine field goals, with former walk-on David Levitch hitting a 3-pointer with 2:34 remaining that put Louisville up for good.

Ryan Luther finished with a career-high 17 points for Pitt (19-8, 8-7). Jamel Artis had 13 points and nine rebounds for the Panthers, but Pitt fell to 0-6 against ranked teams this season after letting a chance to bolster its NCAA Tournament resume disappear under a flurry of Louisville shots in the late stages.

A layup by Michael Young tied the game at 58 with 3:10 to play, but the Cardinals scored the next eight points and Louisville's smothering defense did the rest.
