Pitt suffered an embarrassing 78-63 loss to the Citadel at the Petersen Events Center on Tuesday night, but the game had a silver lining of sorts, as it saw Panthers power forward John Hugley post his first double-double since ascending to the college ranks in 2020.
In the season opener, Hugley led the Panthers with 27 points and 10 rebounds. That placed him in a tie with Citadel forward Jason Roche for the game high in points and gave him sole possession of the game high in rebounds. Hugley also put on a good showing at both ends of the floor, with five defensive rebounds and five offensive rebounds in the game.
