Pitt Basketball's Future and Historic Season Reflection.

Despite losing key players, the Pitt Panthers had a successful season with a record of 24-12 and two NCAA Tournament wins. The challenge for coach Jeff Capel is to sustain this success in the upcoming seasons. The team will need to replace the production and leadership of Nelly Cummings, Jamarius Burton, Nike Sibande, and Greg Elliott. The roster for the 2023-24 season includes some returning talent and potential immediate contributors from the Class of 2023. The team will need to recruit a big man who can rebound and defend, as well as a 3-point shooter or two. The off-season mission is to prepare Dior Johnson to lead the team both physically and mentally.

Pitt Basketball Overcomes Odds to Break NCAA Tournament Losing Streak.

Pitt Basketball broke their NCAA tournament losing streak by defeating Mississippi State in a dramatic game, with a mid-range jumper by Jamarius Burton securing the win. The victory marks Pitt's first NCAA tournament win since 2013-14 and Jeff Capel's first tournament win as a head coach since 2008-09. Despite facing numerous obstacles, including playing without their starting center and dealing with foul trouble, Pitt overcame the odds to win, including being the only Div-I team in the last 25 seasons to score 60 or fewer points, shoot 35% or worse on 2-pointers, shoot 60% or worse on free throws, get outrebounded by 20 or more, and still win the game.
