Whenever I talk with Pitt fans, I’m often asked my opinion of where I think the basketball program is headed. Anytime I try to develop a key theme of what I think of the current status of it, the word I undoubtedly end up at is always ‘uncertainty’. Now, a day before the season begins, I’ve still got the same sense. This year? I’m not expecting much. Beyond, though? I still don’t have a great sense of where this is all headed.
Pitt opens the season tomorrow with an exhibition against Slippery Rock. In some past years, the team had played two exhibition games and I wish this was one of those seasons.
