SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- I don't want to slam my hand down on the panic button after Pitt's 88-81 loss to Notre Dame Wednesday in South Bend.
Jeff Capel certainly will not, nor will his group of veterans.
But, for a solid 30 out of 40 minutes of that defeat, Pitt played itself out of the game more than it played into it, which is not the effort anybody expected or should feel comfortable with as the ACC Tournament appears on the schedule a week from now and a must-win matchup at Miami looms Saturday.
