The Pitt men’s basketball season got underway on Friday night against Navy. This season is expected to be a tough one to watch and nothing tonight seemed to suggest otherwise. The Panthers put up a bit of a fight but still lost, 71-62.
Navy shouldn’t be a terrible team this year. They return quite a bit from a team that was .500 last year and they’ll probably have a shot to win 20 games. But obviously, good teams don’t lose these sorts of games. Navy, for example, hadn’t beaten an ACC team since 1971.
This is going to be a long year for the basketball team but there were still some things to like in this one.
