According to a source, Pitt took down Cincinnati in a secret scrimmage on Saturday by a score of 71-62.
The Panthers were led by Damian Dunn and Cam Corhen, who scored 14 points apiece. Zack Austin contributed with 12 points, five rebounds, and two blocks.
Pitt had a double-digit lead at halftime, before Cincinnati gained the lead mid-way through the second half. Corhen made several big shots down the stretch, and Austin made an impact with his athleticism. Lowe and Leggett had strong games as well, per source. The game took place at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.

Pitt recently took down Point Park (D2) in an exhibition game as well.

In that exhibition, Leggett finished the night with an efficient 24 points (8-of-9 overall, 3-for-3 from three), followed by his backcourt mate Lowe’s 22. The second-half star Corhen ended with a 14-point double (12 points in the second half), and freshman Brandin Cummings with 8 points on 3-of-7 shooting against the Pioneers.
Pitt is heading into year seven of the Jeff Capel-era, coming off a second-straight 20-win season. The Panthers finished last year 22-11, but said goodbye to stars Bub Carrington (Washington Wizards) and Blake Hinson (Golden State Warriors) as they went off to the professional level. In addition, the Panthers said goodbye to Federiko Federiko (Texas Tech) and William Jeffress (Louisiana Tech), as both players transferred out this past spring. Pitt returns key players Lowe, Leggett, and Austin, among others. The staff also brought in a talented group of newcomers, headlined by transfers Corhen (Florida State) and Dunn (Houston) as well as freshmen Brandin “Beebah” Cummings, Amdy Ndiaye, and Amsal Delalic, who is currently nursing a hand injury.
Pitt opens the season on Nov. 4 against Radford.

Secret games! Never heard of that. What’s the point of that. There are fans contributing to 412 Alliance to help pay for some of these players, then they have “secret” games.
