This run Pitt is on is by design, and it does not come as a coincidence.
Jeff Capel's Panthers are one of the oldest teams in Division I college basketball. With that age comes the necessary experience to be able to overcome what some younger teams may not be able to.
Three days following a 79-72 loss at Virginia Tech, Capel and the Panthers will take the floor for a rematch against Georgia Tech in a 7 p.m. tip-off Tuesday inside the Petersen Events Center. That does not leave much time to analyze the loss in Blacksburg, which could serve as a benefit to the veteran Pitt team.
