Early in the season, the Pitt men’s basketball team could do no wrong.
Okay, that may be going a bit too far. But there was no doubt the team was not only meeting expectations, but exceeding them.
Pitt got off to a blistering 6-0 start before losing a one-point heartbreaker on the road to a ranked Iowa team. And despite a couple of more non-conference losses, the Panthers still finished with a 10-3 record. The ten wins, by the way, was already two more than they had all of last year.
In ACC play, the team even proved it belonged.
