The No. 15 Panthers turned the ball over 18 times and shot just 19-48 field as the Seahawks left the Petersen Events Center with a 59-54 victory.
Wagner got the looks it wanted offensively, driving to the basket seemingly at will and also hitting open looks from the perimeter.
The Panthers, however, struggled offensively throughout the game and leading scorer Ashton Gibbs didn’t score until the second half.
Pitt went into the break trailing 29-25 and didn’t take the lead in the second half. The Seahawks held a 12-point advantage with 12:01 left in the game.
The Panthers trimmed the Wagner lead to three on several occasions, including with nine seconds left in the game, but turnovers on key possessions kept Pitt from taking tying the game or taking the lead.
Gibbs led Pitt with 14 points, but shot 5-16 from the field and 1-7 from three.
