PITTSBURGH -- Tyler Ennis took the inbounds pass with 4. Pittsburgh Penguins Gear .4 seconds left and dribbled up court, weaving through Pitts defence. He had the option of shooting or passing to Trevor Cooney. The Syracuse freshman guard decided to shoot. It was the right decision. Ennis made the 35-footer at the buzzer and No. 1 Syracuse remained unbeaten with a 58-56 victory over No. 25 Pitt on Wednesday night. "I saw someone ran over to Trevor and I just had to beat one guy," Ennis said. "I knew they werent going to let Trevor get it. I just had to get some space. I knew I could get open for a second." Syracuse (24-0, 11-0 ACC) and Wichita State are the lone undefeated teams in Division I. Talib Zanna, who led Pitt (20-5, 8-4) with 16 points and 14 rebounds, hit two free throws after being fouled on a layup attempt to give the Panthers a 56-55 lead before Ennis winner. Pitt coach Jamie Dixon called a timeout after the free throws to set his defence. That also allowed Syracuse to draw up a play designed for its fearless freshman. "We guarded it about as well as you could guard it," Dixon said. "He made about a 40-footer. We did what we were supposed to do. If we had to do it again. ... We did the right things. "They were going to get a shot off. He made it, and he made a tough one. We knew hed have the ball and would be the guy. We had two guys on him. He hit the shot. Our guys defended, and he hit a shot." It was Pitts first loss at home to a top-five team in the 12-year history of the Petersen Events Center. The Panthers (20-5, 8-4) had been 9-0 against top-five teams and 13-1 against teams ranked in the top 10. C.J. Fair led Syracuse with 14 points. Pitt had a 54-48 lead with less than 2 minutes remaining, but Fair made a 3-pointer with 1:40 to go. He then hit a jumper to make it 54-53 with 51 seconds left. After Pitt missed on the other end, Ennis made two free throws with 10 seconds left to give the Orange the lead. "C.J. hadnt hit a 3 all game. He hadnt hit the rim, and he makes a 3 and then he hits a pretty tough pull-up to give us a chance," Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said. "Those were big plays and you have to be a special player to make those plays." Pitt led 27-24 at halftime and built its lead to nine in the early stages of the second half when Lamar Patterson made a 3-pointer to make it 37-28 with 15 minutes remaining. Syracuse stormed back with a 17-8 run and tied it on Trevor Cooneys 3-pointer with 6:53 to go, but Pitt regained control after Zanna converted a three-point play and freshman Jamel Artis sank two free throws for a 50-45 lead. But it was all Syracuse after that. Pitts only points in the final 1:59 came from Zannas two free throws, and the Panthers were outscored 10-3 in the final 1:59. Syracuse had to play without backup centre Baye Moussa Keita, who sat out with a sprained knee. That forced sophomore forward Jerami Grant into duty as the backup centre behind Rakeem Christmas. Pitt had injury issues of its own. Senior forward and leading scorer Lamar Patterson had the thumb on his right hand wrapped for a second consecutive game. After going 1 for 9 in his previous outing against Virginia Tech, Patterson scored 13 points. Penguins Jerseys 2020 .

Diego Simeones men slipped further away from defending their league title last weekend after suffering a 3-1 defeat to Barcelona to drop four points back of Real Madrid, which still has a game in hand. Atletico rebounded in Copa del Rey action on Thursday by earning a second-leg draw with Real Madrid to oust the European champions from the competition on aggregate, but now the Rojiblancos will aim to translate that form into league play. Simeone will be buoyed by what looks to be a rejuvenated Fernando Torres. El Nino appears to have resuscitated his career with a move back to the Calderon as his brace on Thursday helped to eliminate Real from cup play. If he features on Sunday, Torres will have a tremendous opportunity to build up a head of steam as he will face a struggling Granada side that enters the weekend at the foot of the La Liga table. Granada has not won a league game since earning a 1-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao on Sept. 20. Since then, the club has collected just six points out of a possible 42. And perhaps the most alarming signal for Granada is how it has fared against teams sitting inside the top four this season. The club suffered a 6-0 loss to Barcelona at Camp Nou on Sept. 27, received a 4-0 thrashing at home to Real Madrid on Nov. 1 and endured a 5-1 loss at Sevilla on Nov. 30. That record bodes well for Atletico, a club hoping to secure its seventh home win in its laast eight league outings. Custom Pittsburgh Penguins Jerseys.

Real Sociedads impressive unbeaten streak under David Moyes - which included a 1-0 defeat of Barcelona - was extended to four games with a draw against Granada last time out. La Real will attempt to get back to winning ways on Saturday when it welcomes Rayo Vallecano to La Anoeta. Valencias draw at Celta Vigo last weekend saw the club drop to fifth place in the table, so the Los Che will hope to rebound with a victory over Almeria at the Mestalla on Saturday.
