PITTSBURGH - Gerry McNamara, held scoreless by No. 3 Pittsburgh for the equivalent of nearly a game and a half, hit a go-ahead 3-pointer and two key free throws in overtime and Syracuse ended the Panthers' 40-game home winning streak with a 49-46 upset Sunday.

Pitt's streak was the second-longest in Division I, behind only Duke's 41-game run. The Panthers (25-3, 11-3) had been 34-0 at home since opening the Petersen Events Center last season and hadn't lost in Pittsburgh since being surprised by Notre Dame 56-53 on Jan. 12, 2002, at Fitzgerald Field House

Hakim Warrick scored 17 points for the defending national champion Orangemen (19-6, 9-5), who stayed in the running for the No. 4 seed in the Big East tournament and damaged Pitt's chances of winning the conference regular-season title. Syracuse tied Seton Hall for fourth place.

Pitt (25-3, 11-3), confused and ineffective the entire game against Syracuse's switching defenses, dropped into a first-place tie with Connecticut and Providence.
