Wednesday afternoon, the Pitt women’s basketball team won its opener against George Mason. Wednesday night, the men’s team wasn’t as fortunate.
The Pitt men’s basketball team was shocked by St. Francis, 80-70 and you could practically feel the air come out of the tire. What an unbelievable letdown.
While the Panthers were picked to finish 13th in the ACC, fans quietly hoped Pitt could contend for an NCAA Tournament berth this season — Jeff Capel’s third year leading the program as head coach. But while this was only one game, the NCAA seems light years away at this point.
