PITTSBURGH — Macari Moore announced he will return to the Pitt men’s basketball program for the 2026-27 season following a developmental freshman campaign in which he appeared in 22 contests for the Panthers.

Moore had some big moments for the Panthers. He played a season-high 17 minutes at Boston College, finishing with five points, four rebounds, an assist and a steal. He had two first-half steals in Pitt’s 64-63 win over Stanford in the first round of the ACC Tournament. His second theft in the closing moments of the half led to a driving layup at the buzzer that put Pitt ahead by eight at the break.

Tech QB has gambling issue

LUBBOCK, Texas — Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby has taken an indefinite leave of absence from the team to enter a residential treatment program for a gambling addiction.

Texas Tech and Sorsby announced the move in a statement. The school says it is “committed to supporting Brendan through his recovery process and to ensure his long-term health and well-being.”

Sorsby received the most lucrative deal of the portal period — a reported $5 million — to return to his home state for his final season.

Sorsby was one of the biggest names in this year’s transfer portal. He transferred from Cincinnati, which then announced on Feb. 26 it would sue the quarterback for breaching his name, image and likeness contract. He began his college career at Indiana.
