Puts up 10 points TuesdayMassoud had 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three assists and a rebound across 27 minutes in Tuesday's loss against Pittsburgh.

ImpactMassoud came off the bench once again but ended as Pittsburgh's second-best scorer -- and the second player who ended with 10 or more points. Massoud scored in double digits for the first time after seven straight games off the bench, so his numbers have undoubtedly taken a hit since his role changed.

Boosts Pitt to victorySibande had 23 points (7-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds and four assists across 37 minutes in Tuesday's 70-57 victory over Wake Forest.

ImpactSibande has made four consecutive starts for the Panthers but has been especially productive in his last three games, averaging 14.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists over that span. With both Xavier Johnson and Au'Diese Toney in the transfer portal, a mountain of minutes has suddenly opened up in the backcourt, and the senior is taking full advantage. Pitt nonetheless remains a long shot for the NCAA Tournament.

Reserve role doesn't affect productionChampagnie had 20 points (7-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 31 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 70-57 victory over Wake Forest.

ImpactChampagnie came off the bench for the first time this season, and while some reports suggested it was due to a technical foul, it also seems possible the sophomore simply gave way to Terrell Brown on Senior Night. In any case, Champagnie was his usual, productive self, cashing in his fourth-straight double-double and 13th overall on the season. Pittsburgh has recently fallen out of NCAA Tournament contention and has seen multiple program departures, but there's no denying Champagnie has a bright future, likely in the NBA.

Not starting TuesdayChampagnie is not among the starters for Tuesday's game against Wake Forest.

ImpactChampagnie received two technical fouls in the previous game, which may be the reason why the sophomore will appear off the bench. Even so, look for him to see plenty of action in Tuesday's contest, especially given the team's recent departures.
