Former Pitt shooting guard Cam Johnson, who is now with North Carolina, is set to face off against his old team for the first time when the Panthers head to Chapel Hill to take on the Tar Heels on Saturday.
Johnson went through a contentious split with the program after the 2016-17 season, when he graduated early and opted to transfer out amid extensive turnover at Pitt. The university initially wanted him to sit out a season after transferring. But that drew the ire of the national media, and Pitt eventually granted him the right to play immediately at ACC rival North Carolina.
