Greg Elliott transfers to Pittsburgh for his final season after five years at Marquette
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.
Former MU assistant coach Jake Presutti is the assistant athletic director of scouting for Pittsburgh.
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.

Elliott became a key role player in his final two seasons, shooting 45.5% on three-pointers in 2020-21 and 38.6% in 2021-22. He stuck around after head coach Steve Wojciechowski was fired to play for new head coach Shaka Smart last season.
