Ex-Cat McConnell will have elite company in Pennsylvania hall
Arizona’s 2015 All-Pac-12 point guard T.J. McConnell will be part of the WPIAL Hall of Fame Class of 2016, which is the top athletic Hall of Fame in Western Pennsylvania. Only nine classes have been inducted, and the list includes Arnold Palmer, Stan Musial, Sean Miller and his father, prep coach John Miller. McConnell’s aunt, Suzie McConnell-Serio, head women’s basketball coach at Pitt, was inducted in 2007. The ceremony will be held in June; McConnell earned $525,000 as a Philadelphia 76ers rookie this season and played in 81 of 82 games. He almost had a double-double in the season finale, with nine points and nine assists against Chicago.
