2023 3-Star CB Brice Pollock Talks to PSN About De-Committing from Pitt

Gateway High was expecting to beat Peters Township High one more time and head back to the WPIAL championship game for the second straight season — after beating PT in the previous title game, no less. But Donovan McMillon and Peters Township had other ideas, knocking off the reigning...

The University of Pittsburgh honored the 2003 Big East Champion men’s basketball team back to the Petersen Events Center Saturday. Remembering the 20th anniversary of the Panthers’ first Big East Tournament title, former players and coaches were in attendance for Pitt’s 71-68 comeback victory against No. 20 Miami.

PITTSBURGH — Ahead of Pitt’s game against No. 20 Miami on Saturday, former Panthers’ head coach Ben Howland addressed the media, including Pittsburgh Sports Now. Watch the interview below.

PITTSBURGH– Pitt trailed by double digits but battled back in the final minutes to beat Miami 71-68. Here are the top photos of the game.

Ring, ring. Ring, ring. Ring, ring. If Donovan McMillon were to check his phone, he’d see it’s grandma calling. She popped down to the South Side for lunch, ordered an extra steak and wants to drop it off at his place. She can do that now since he’s returned home to Pittsburgh.

The Panthers welcomed former standout cornerback Dane Jackson back to Oakland at the Pitt-Miami basketball game Saturday afternoon. Drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the 7th round of the 2020 draft, Jackson played four seasons on the Pitt football team from 2016-2019 following a redshirt year in 2015. The Coraopolis native and Quaker Valley High School alum played 50 games in a Panther uniform, totaling four interceptions, four forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and 148 tackles.

PITTSBURGH — Pitt basketball earned perhaps the biggest win of the Jeff-Capel era in front of a raucous crowd at the Petersen Events Center on Saturday afternoon, taking down Miami by a score of 71-68. In the final 25 seconds, No. 20 Miami’s Isaiah Wong attempted to give the Hurricanes back the lead after Pitt had come all the way back. However, on his shot attempt, Pitt’s Jamarius Burton ripped the ball out of his hands and the Petersen Events Center exploded. Pitt took the lead, and with five seconds remaining, the Hurricanes looked to pass the ball in-bounds to forward Norchad Omier, but the pass was intercepted by Pitt’s Greg Elliott and he was quickly fouled.

PITTSBURGH — Heading into the season, Federiko Federiko couldn’t have expected that he would hold such a big role on Pitt’s team in just his first year of Division One basketball. However, after Panthers’ big man John Hugley suffered a knee injury several weeks before the season,...

Duquesne’s Dea Dea Grant had his first career double-double (23 points, 10 rebounds), but it wasn’t enough as Duquesne (14-8, 4-5) fell to UMass (13-8, 4-5) 87-79.

Megan McConnell’s contribution resulted in nine points and eight rebounds.

PITTSBURGH — On a night when it was without its star player, Central Catholic prevailed in a battle against Pine Richland behind its senior leadership and sharp-shooting efforts.

WHITEHALL, Pa. — Dating back to last season, the matchups between the Mt. Lebanon Blue Devils and the Baldwin Highlanders have been intense, to say the least. Just a few weeks ago, Mt. Lebanon beat Baldwin in a low-scoring, one-possession affair. On Tuesday night, the second meeting between the two teams went down to the wire again as the Blue Devils managed to escape with a dramatic 50-49 victory.

The spotlight was set on one of the best WPIAL boys basketball players in Royce Parham and the North Hills Indians, but it was Tasso Sfanos and the Mars Fightin’ Planets that stole the show in a key section matchup. With 4.2 seconds left in the game, Royce Parham...
