McKnight and Pirates face unenviable challenge in Markus Howard
Quincy McKnight was one step ahead of the play. The Pirates’ Swiss Army knife of a guard knew where the pass was going before it left Joey Brunk’s hands.

McKnight then switched from defensive stopper to offensive finisher, dribbling down the court and dunking...
