There is quite a bit to like about the Pitt men's basketball roster, but Jeff Capel isn't about to be quick to praise any type of paper champion.
There is a palpable urgency within the walls of the Petersen Events Center for the upcoming Panthers season, and with an impact freshman, touted transfers, and many veteran pieces returning, there is growing optimism that last year's 11-21 record was nothing more than a fluke after nearing the .500 mark and winning a game in the ACC tournament two years ago.
In his first press conference of the season in Oakland, Capel went as far as to say he feels this is the best roster he has had as he enters his fifth season as Pitt's head coach.
