It’s no secret that Ryan Murphy has been the driving force in the Pittsburgh Panthers (1-1, 1-0) two games this season. The New Mexico Junior College transfer, by way of UNC-Charlotte, has averaged 20.5 points per game while connecting on 7-13 (53.8%) three-pointers to start the year. Given the numbers and his pivotal role in their opening game victory over the Florida State Seminoles, and being nearly the sole reason they lost by just 5 against the Nicholls State Colonels, that he’s integrated rather well.
While that’s true to a degree, Pitt fans will be pleased to learn that the Panthers will be able to get a lot more out of Murphy in the future.
