Ithiel Horton went into Saturday thinking he would play his second game for Pitt since his criminal charges were dismissed on Dec. 30 and he had rejoined the Panthers since his 13-game suspension.
That changed when those charges were announced to have been re-filed Saturday, forcing Pitt Athletics to renew its suspension of Horton, per university policy, just hours before Pitt would beat Boston College 69-67 at the Petersen Events Center. Horton would turn himself in to the Pittsburgh Police and be jailed Saturday to await bail.
Jeff Capel expressed his frustration with the process after seeing Horton working with the team as recent as Saturday morning.
