Pitt-Miami observations: Some much-needed scoring diversity, Nike Sibande's debut and all those foulsIt was going to take an unusual, perhaps even sadistic, combination of factors for Pitt to lose Wednesday against an injury-scarred Miami te...
Plays 37 minutes in debutOlaniyi posted seven points (2-12 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three assists, two rebounds and two steals across 37 minutes in Wednesday's 70-55 loss against Pittsburgh.
ImpactOlaniyi paced the Hurricanes in minutes played and was tied for the team's scoring lead, but he missed two of his 12 field-goal attempts and undoubtedly looked rusty. The fact that he logged heavy minutes should be encouraging and this might lead to Olaniyi having a big role straight away for the Hurricanes. His next chance to play will come Dec. 19 against Jacksonville.

Extends double-digit scoring runWong recorded 21 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-9 FT), three rebounds, two steals, an assist and a block across 37 minutes in Wednesday's 70-55 loss against Pittsburgh.
ImpactWong has been one of the most reliable scoring threats for the Hurricanes this season, as he has scored in double digits in each of his first five appearances of the campaign. He has reached the 20-point mark in three of those games, and he will try to extend that streak Saturday against Jacksonville.

Scores season-high 18 pointsHorton 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.
ImpactHorton 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 performanceToney 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.
ImpactToney 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.
