Cameron Corhen hit seven of his eight shots en route to a season-high 19 points, Jaland Lowe led the way with 27 and Pittsburgh exploded from a halftime deficit into an 86-74 victory over visiting California on Wednesday afternoon.Playing their first road game as a new member of the ACC, the Golden Bears (7-6, 0-2 ACC) outgunned the Panthers (11-2, 2-0) en route to a 42-38 halftime lead.But the hosts came out on fire in the second half, ignited by a Corhen jumper just 14 seconds after the intermission. The Panthers grabbed the lead for good on a Brandin Cummings 3-pointer at the 17:35 mark and gradually pulled away throughout the half.After its 42-point first half, Cal had just six points in the first seven minutes of the second. The Golden Bears were outscored 19-6 over that span, falling behind 57-48.Cal, which dropped its ACC debut at home to rival Stanford last month, never got closer than five after that.Lowe’s 27 points were just one shy of the career-high 28 he put up at Ohio State in November. He shot just 9-for-23 but made all eight of his free throws while also finding time for a game-high eight assists.
