PITTSBURGH — Cruz Davis scored a career-high 36 points on 14-of-25 shooting with five 3-pointers and Hofstra was in control most of the way in beating Pitt 80-73 on Sunday.

It was the second big upset at home suffered by Pitt, having lost earlier this season to Quinnipiac.

Davis added seven assists and his 14 baskets were nearly half of Hofstra’s total as it shot 53% (29 of 55). Victory Onuetu was the only other Pride (6-4) player in double figures with 10 points.

Pitt (5-5) reserve Brandin Cummings poured in a career-high 34 points on 10-of-15 shooting, including 5 of 8 from beyond the 3-point arc.

Barry Dunning Jr. added 13 points. Pitt led for only 1:32.

A Dunning 3 brought the Panthers into a tie at 16 with 8:59 before halftime. Hofstra responded by outscoring Pitt 20-7 to close the first half and led 36-23 at the break.

Onuetu started the second half with a layup and a dunk on a fast break and Hofstra reached its biggest lead at 40-23. Pitt responded with a 24-10 outburst that lasted nearly seven minutes and drew within 50-47 but never got closer.
