PITTSBURGH (AP) - Tyler Ennis made a 35-footer at the buzzer and No. 1 Syracuse remained unbeaten with a 58-56 victory over No. 25 Pitt on Wednesday night.

Syracuse (24-0, 11-0 ACC) and Wichita State are the lone undefeated teams in Division I.

With the Orange down by one with 4.4 seconds left, Ennis caught the inbounds pass and dribbled up the court before hitting the shot over two defenders.

Talib Zanna, who led Pitt (20-5, 8-4) with 16 points and 14 rebounds, hit two free throws to give Pitt a 56-55 lead before Ennis' winner.

It was Pitt's first loss at home to a top-five team in the 12-year history of the Petersen Events Center. The Panthers had been 9-0 against top-five teams and 13-1 against teams ranked in the top 10.

NO. 8 DUKE at NORTH CAROLINA, PPD

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - Duke's game at North Carolina was postponed because of a storm that brought enough snow and ice to paralyze many area roads. The game will be played Feb. 20.

The postponement came about 3½ hours before the scheduled tipoff at 9:10 p.m.

North Carolina athletic director Bubba Cunningham said Duke's bus couldn't make it to the Durham campus to pick up the Blue Devils for the 11-mile drive to Chapel Hill.
