On Monday, Pitt men’s basketball opened up the 2024-25 season, and did so in absolute dominant fashion, as they routed the Radford Highlanders by a final of 96-56.All five Panthers starters finished with double-digit points, including Jaland Lowe, who put up a career best 21.
Freshman Brandin Cummings also had double figures, in his collegiate debut, as he scored 11 points off Pitt’s bench. He went 4-7 from the floor (57.1%), while recording three assists, one steal, and one block.
Cummings is the younger brother of former Pitt point guard Nelly Cummings. Nelly played a key role during the Panthers’ NCAA Tournament season in 2022-23. Meanwhile, Brandin arrived to the University of Pittsburgh as a four-star recruit, according to Rivals.
Pitt’s next game is Friday night versus Murray State at The Petersen Events Center. Tip-off is for 7:00 ET.
