Duke Basketball: Pittsburgh has new energy and toughness with Jeff Capel

For the past few years the Pittsburgh Panthers Basketball program has been the laughing stock of the ACC and one of the least respected programs in all of the country.

Just a few years ago Pittsburgh was an ‘Old-School Big East’ team that would make you fight and claw for 40 minutes under former Head Coach Jamie Dixon.

Since the transition to the ACC, Pittsburgh has yet to find that toughness the program once had but now in its first year with Jeff Capel at the helm of the program, the former Duke player and Associate Head Coach is bring the Panthers back to prominence.
