Brandin Knight honored in return to Pitt
Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY SportsFormer Big East rivals Pitt and Rutgers faced off for the first time since 2013 on Tuesday night, as they were paired up in the Big Ten-ACC Challenge. The matchup also brought Pitt great Brandin Knight back to Pittsburgh for the first time since his departure from the program’s coaching staff in 2016, and he was met with a tribute that was broadcast on the jumbotron of the Petersen Events Center.
”Brandin Knight is the best two-way player in Pitt history,” longtime Pitt broadcaster Bill Hillgrove said in the video tribute. “To break records for both assists and steals is remarkable. He is the reason this program is where it is and will always be.”
