Freshman Brandin Cummings scores 30 points, best by ACC freshman this season, in Pitt's 96-56 win
Brandin Cummings came off the bench to score a career-high 30 points — the most this season by an ACC freshman — and Pitt left Eastern Kentucky behind in the second half to win 96-...DECEMBER 12 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Zack Austin - Stuffs stat sheet Wednesday Austin posted 18 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 96-56 win over Eastern Kentucky.
Impact Brandin Cummings and Jaland Lowe turned heads with their play Wednesday, but Austin made his presence felt as well. The senior posted a season-high mark in scoring Wednesday, and this was his fourth double-digit scoring mark of the campaign. Austin has started in Pittsburgh's last two games, and that's not likely to change given how good he's looked in those two contests.

Brandin Cummings - Explodes for 30 points Wednesday Cummings accumulated 30 points (10-13 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), one rebound and one steal across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 96-56 win over Eastern Kentucky.
Impact Even though Jaland Lowe and Ishmael Leggett are the best players in the Pittsburgh roster, there's no question Cummings has been making his presence felt of late. The freshman guard has scored in double digits in two of his last three appearances. This 30-point outing was a career-best outing by a sizable margin, though.

Brandin Cummings - Scores 12 points in loss Cummings ended with 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two steals in 17 minutes during Wednesday's 90-57 loss to Mississippi State.
Impact Cummings was the only Pittsburgh player not named Jaland Lowe to score in double digits, and the true freshman made the most of his minutes out there. However, he's scored in double digits just twice this season, so the lack of consistency certainly limits his upside.
DECEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Jaland Lowe - Scores 19 points Wednesday Lowe ended with 19 points (7-21 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 90-57 loss to Mississippi State.
Impact The Panthers had one of their worst collective offensive performances of the season, and in fact, Lowe was the only started who scored more than six points in this loss. Pittsburgh has a talented roster, however, and the team isn't expected to struggle for a long stretch. Even with the struggles, Lowe continues to perform for the Panthers. He's scored in double digits in his last five games, averaging 19.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game in that stretch.

Guillermo Diaz Graham - Leaves game Friday Diaz Graham (undisclosed) exited Friday's game against 91-90 overtime win over Ohio State and did not return, Stephen Thompson of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Diaz Graham left early in the second half of Friday's overtime thriller against the Buckeyes with an undisclosed injury and was unable to re-enter the game. The 7-foot junior, who logged two points, four rebounds and an assist across 19 minutes prior to exiting, will have his next chance to return Wednesday against Mississippi State.

Austin's 3 at the buzzer sends Pitt past Ohio State 91-90 in overtime
Reserve Zack Austin scored 15 of his 16 points from 3-point range and his last one of the day came at the buzzer and Pitt rallied to beat Ohio State 91-90 in overtimeNOVEMBER 29 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Zack Austin - Solid numbers off bench Austin posted 16 points (5-10 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and two steals in 37 minutes during Friday's 91-90 OT victory over Ohio State.
Impact Jaland Lowe and Ishmael Leggett were the best players for Pittsburgh, but the Panthers wouldn't have won this game without Austin's contributions off the bench. The senior forward has scored in double digits in three of his eight games this season.
NOVEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Ishmael Leggett - Delivers double-double Leggett fouled out of Friday's 91-90 OT victory over Ohio State after recording 21 points (9-22 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and two steals in 42 minutes.
Impact Jaland Lowe led the Panthers in scoring in this thrilling win, but Leggett's contributions can't be overlooked. The shooting guard has now scored at least 20 points in three of his eight outings, and he forms one of the most productive backcourts in the ACC next to Lowe.
