Pitt’s freefall in the ACC continues. The Panthers last night lost their sixth game in their last eight, 83-63 to SMU. Coach Jeff Capel also lost another player. Star guard Jaland Lowe took a hit to the head from the Mustangs’ Boopie Miller in the second half, passed concussion protocol and returned to the game briefly, but was taken out with 11:40 to go because he was having difficulty remembering things, according to associate head coach Tim O’Toole on the postgame show on WCCS.
Guillermo Diaz Graham scored 15 for Pitt and Brandon Cummings had 12. Ish Leggett had 10 but was 0-for-8 from beyond the three-point line.
Guillermo Diaz Graham led the Panthers with 15 points and freshman Brandin Cummings added 12 off the bench in 16 minutes. Ishmael Leggett contributed 10 points, but missed 12 of 17 shots and all eight of his 3-point attempts.
Pitt fell to 14-10, 5-8 in the ACC. They’ll host Miami on Saturday afternoon.
