ACC Basketball Media Days are happening down in Charlotte, and the media took its annual poll to decide the predicted order of the conference. Pitt was picked to finish last:
Jeff Capel is taking over a program that has essentially no expectations. The Panthers went 0-19 in conference last year (including the ACC tournament), and lost those games by an average of almost 20 points per game. They weren’t just the worst in the conference, they were boat raced in almost every game. Jeff Capel knows this as well as anyone, as Duke beat Pitt by 27 and 35 points last year in its two games versus the Panthers.
