Pittsburgh hosts FGCU after Hinson's 26-point performance

Pittsburgh takes on the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles after Blake Hinson scored 26 points in Pittsburgh's 89-60 win over the Binghamton Bearcats

NOVEMBER 12, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ishmael Leggett - Strong double-double in win Leggett racked up 18 points (6-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and four steals over 27 minutes during Friday's 89-60 win over Binghamton.

Impact The Panthers cruised their way to an easy 29-point victory over Binghamton, and Leggett certainly played an important role as a two-way presence. While this game will probably end up being one of Leggett's best efforts of the entire campaign, it's worth noting he started the 2023-24 season on a strong note with back-to-back double-digit scoring outings.

Federiko Federiko - Doubles-doubles in Monday win Federiko registered 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and four blocks in 26 minutes during Monday's 100-52 win over North Carolina A&T.

Impact Federiko was efficient from the field and particularly active on the offensive glass, as he grabbed four of his 10 boards on the opposition's end. Federiko already matched last season's double-double tally, and he figures to see an uptick in minutes in 2023-24 after averaging just 23.4 per game last season.

Carlton Carrington - Posts triple-double in first game Carrington ended with 18 points (7-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt), 12 rebounds and 10 assists across 29 minutes during Monday's 100-52 win over North Carolina A&T.

Impact What a debut for the four-star freshman out of Baltimore. It certainly wasn't the toughest competition that Pitt will face all year, but we don't see a whole lot of triple-doubles at the college level. Carrington appeared to take a lot of the primary ball-handling duties from Ishmael Leggett, which will only increase the freshman's value. We'll see what Carrington is able to do over these next three games against Binghamton, Florida Gulf Coast, and Jacksonville.
