Scores season-high 18 points Horton recorded 18 points (6-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and a steal across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 70-55 win over Miami.
Impact Horton posted a season-high scoring mark in this game, and he has scored in double digits twice already -- but he hasn't topped the five-point mark in his other four appearances. The sophomore is averaging 7.5 points per game as a starter to date, and he is expected to hold down that role when Pittsburgh takes on Louisville on Dec. 22.

Another complete performance Toney posted 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 70-55 win over Miami.
Impact Toney rebounded nicely following a nine-point game the last time out, and he has scored at least 15 points in five of his six contests to date. Toney provides more than just scoring, though, as he has supplemented that offense with averages of 5.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game so far this season.
