Former Pitt players John Hugley, Will Jeffress, Nate Santos, Dior Johnson, and others were in action Monday.

Several former Pitt Panthers were in action on Monday on college basketball’s opening day.

In case you were wondering about how they did on their new teams, I have compiled a list here.

Federiko Federiko – Texas Tech

Federiko played 15 minutes in a win over Bethune-Cookman, scoring five points and grabbing five rebounds.

William Jeffress – Louisiana Tech

Jeffress played 24 minutes in Louisiana Tech’s win, going 4 for 7 from the field and 1 for 4 from three-point range. He finished with 10 points, six rebounds, one block, and one turnover.

Nate Santos – Dayton

Santos went 1 for 9 from the field and 0-6 from three-point range in a Dayton win over St. Francis (PA). He scored four points, grabbed eight rebounds, and dished out three assists.

Dior Johnson – UCF

Johnson’s UCF squad upset ranked Texas A&M on Monday night. He played five minutes in the win, going 0-2 from the field, 0-1 from three-point range, and scoring 0 points.

Yeah, had a big back brace on pregame and looked real stiff in limited minutes. Guessing he wouldn’t have seen the floor if they weren’t already without four other guards

John Hugley – Xavier

Hugley played six minutes in Xavier’s opening game against Texas Southern, going 0-1 from the field (three-pointer), scoring one point, grabbing two rebounds. and committing one foul.

Sean Miller said it wouldn’t surprise him if it takes John Hugley a few months to be playing at his best. He said he thinks we’ll see him hit his stride after Christmas.
