Ishmael Leggett - Reaches 20-point mark again Leggett supplied 20 points (5-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, two assists and three steals over 36 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 73-67 loss to Georgia Tech.
Impact Jaland Lowe led the way for the Panthers in scoring in this one, but Leggett posted an impressive line as well, even if he also struggled from the field. The senior guard has scored at least 20 points in three of his last four games and is averaging 16.6 points per contest in eight contests this season.

Jaland Lowe - Strong line despite shooting woes Lowe racked up 25 points (7-21 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 9-10 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 73-67 loss to Georgia Tech.
Impact On the surface, Lowe had an impressive stat line and finished just two assists away from recording a double-double. However, his shooting woes were evident, as he made just 33.3 percent of his shots and just two of his nine treys. Despite the shooting problems, Lowe remains a key player for the Panthers. He's averaging 14.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.4 steals per game across seven outings in February.

Jaland Lowe - Returns with 17 Lowe totaled 17 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 80-69 victory over Syracuse.
Impact After missing Pittsburgh's last game due to a concussion, Lowe was back in action and posted his best scoring total of the month of February. He and the Panthers will look for their third win in a row with a Saturday trip to Notre Dame next up.

Zack Austin - Puts up 19 points Tuesday Austin finished Tuesday's 80-69 win over Syracuse with 19 points (8-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist, three blocks and three steals across 38 minutes.
Impact Austin co-led the Panthers in points Tuesday alongside Ishmael Leggett, and he recorded his second-best scoring mark of the campaign. Austin has scored 10 or more points in five of his last nine games, but he's not a go-to player on offense, so the lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis could be an issue for him going forward.
FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE
Ishmael Leggett - Puts up 19 points in win Leggett ended with 19 points (6-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 80-69 win over Syracuse.
Impact The Panthers didn't have significant problems getting past Syracuse in this one, and Leggett was one of several Pittsburgh players who scored more than 15 points in this one. Leggett has scored in double digits in all but one of his previous 11 appearances, averaging 15.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.8 steals per game in that stretch.

Jaland Lowe - Active and starting Lowe (concussion) is listed amongst Pitt's starters ahead of Tuesday's game against Syracuse, Jerry DiPaola of TribLive.com reports.
Impact Lowe will start in his return to action on Tuesday night after sitting out against Miami on Saturday with a concussion. The 6-foot-3 sophomore is averaging 16.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.7 steals across 24 starts this season, nearly doubling his 2023-24 season averages.

Zack Austin - Records double-double Austin closed Saturday's 74-65 victory over Miami (FL) with 11 points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block across 38 minutes.
Impact Not only Austin snapped a four-game drought with single-digit scoring figures, but he also notched his first double-double of the campaign. Austin is not one of the most consistent performers for the Panthers, but more often than not, he gets the job done. He's averaging 10.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals per contest since being promoted to a starting role on Dec. 7, which was 16 games ago.
