A four-year standout at guard, Aiken scored 1,200 career points, ranking seventh in school history upon the completion of his final season. He appeared in four postseason tournaments across his career, including the 1985 and 1987 NCAA Tournaments and the 1984 and 1986 NITs. As a senior, Aiken averaged a career-high 14.2 points and helped the Panthers to what was then a school-record 25 wins and a share of the Big East regular-season title, the first in program history. A standout performer on the holiday tournament circuit, he was named Most Valuable Player of the 1986 Rainbow Classic after leading Pitt to the title with victories over Kansas, Arkansas and Wisconsin, including a career-high 37-point effort against Arkansas. He also earned MVP honors at the 1985 Sugar Bowl Classic, averaging 18.5 points in wins over Texas A&M and Louisiana-Lafayette. Aiken's name is inscribed on the Varsity Walk as a recipient of the Panther Award.
