Greg Elliott will finish his college basketball career at Pittsburgh.

The 6-foot-3 guard, who spent five seasons at Marquette, announced Tuesday that he will play his extra season of NCAA eligibility for the Panthers.

Elliott entered the NCAA transfer portal in April after averaging 5.6 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists in his four seasons at MU. He was beset by thumb and ankle injuries during his time with the Golden Eagles and redshirted the 2018-19 season.
