Cardiac Hill’s 2018-19 Pitt Basketball Preview

The weather’s getting colder and we’re past the halfway mark in the football season. In running this blog for about a decade now, that generally is my signal that it’s time for the shooting of the basketballs.

Basketball always (and I do mean, always) sneaks up on me. It’s a lot different from football where training camp is a much bigger deal. The start of camp gives you like a one-month warning that games are about to start. There’s no such bellwether in basketball aside from the one-off Midnight Madness events.

Pitt has its first game this week - an exhibition against your friendly neighborhood branch campus, Pitt-Johnstown.
