PITT
Pitt has a big game tonight against Michigan in the Legends Classic at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The 20th ranked Wolverines are led by 7-foot-1-inch All-American center Hunter Dickinson, which makes Pitt coach Jeff Capel anxious for the return of his own big man, 6-9 center John Hugley.
Hugley injured his knee on September 30th and only returned to practice on Monday after a six-week layoff. Capel says he looked rusty but he is a key for the Panthers.
Capel says the Panthers could really use Hugley against the physically imposing Dickinson.
The pregame airs on WCCS at 5:30, with tipoff shortly after 6.
