Pittsburgh led 56-55 after a pair of free throws by Talib Zanna, leaving Syracuse with 4.4 seconds and no timeouts. Inexplicably, Panthers head coach Jamie Dixon used his team's final timeout, setting the stage for Ennis' heroics.
Ennis finished with 13 points and a team-leading five assists for the Orange, who played the entire contest with just six players after Baye Keita suffered a sprained knee on Sunday.
Pittsburgh, which led for most of the contest, lost for the third time in four home games. Zanna led all players with 16 points and 14 rebounds.
