Pitt Welcoming NBA Scouts for Game Against No. 11 Duke

PITTSBURGH — On Tuesday night, Pitt will host No. 11 Duke in an ACC battle at the Petersen Events Center.

Similar to many other games this year, the Panthers will host a number of NBA team scouts on Tuesday night. Tuesday night, the Panthers have seats reserved in the press box for the following NBA organizations: Oklahoma City Thunder (x3), Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, Washington Wizards, San Antonio Spurs, Utah Jazz, and the Golden State Warriors.

Earlier this year, Panthers’ guard Bub Carrington burst onto the NBA Draft scene with a triple-double in his first career collegiate game. Ever since the beginning of this season, Pitt has had scouts invited to just about every home game. Duke also has a host of players that are well-known prospects for the pros, including Kyle Filipowski, Tyrese Proctor, Jared McCain, Mark Mitchell, and others.

The game will tip off at 9 p.m. on ESPN. Pitt currently sits at 10-5 (1-3 ACC) while No. 11 Duke is 11-3 (2-1 ACC).
