Due to the holidays, the Pitt basketball team had only one game last week. Therefore, my job is a little easier picking the Panther of the Week. This week’s winner is Michael Young. He is reclaiming this award after fellow senior Jamel Artis intervened for one week. Young was pretty dominant in picking up a double-double in last week’s 19 point victory over Omaha.
Young pulls out the award despite strong efforts from Artis, Cam Johnson, and Ryan Luther against the Mavericks last week. Young finished the contest with 24 points, 11 rebounds, six assists, and one block.
