One of the lessons that Jeff Capel learned from Coach K is that, no matter what, you always have to respect your opponent.
He’s going to have to work harder to convince his team that that's important. Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, he now has the means to do that as Pitt was upset by Nicholls, 75-70.
Nicholls is out of the Southland conference and honestly, ACC teams aren’t supposed to lose to Southland teams.
Pitt managed it, partly because Nicholls shot well from three point range and hit 11-24 and Pitt’s 21 turnovers had something to do with it too.
