Pitt Guard McGowens Transferring

PITTSBURGH (AP) – Pittsburgh guard Trey McGowens is transferring, the second high-profile departure from the rebuilding program in less than a week. McGowens averaged 11.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.9 steals per game while starting 32 of Pitt’s 33 games last season. The Panthers finished 16-17 overall and 6-14 in the Atlantic Coast Conference two years removed from going 0-19 in league play. McGowens struggled down the stretch for the Panthers, averaging just 9.1 points over Pitt’s final 16 games. Guard Ryan Murphy announced over the weekend he was also transferring after making a team-high 42 3-pointers.
