The Panthers, despite once standing at 12-2 overall and No. 5 overall in the NCAA NET rankings, are now 17-14 on the year, with an 8-12 ACC record. However, despite, the downfall of this year’s team, the Panthers still have a chance. With this week’s ACC Tournament, Pitt can still make a run to the “Big Dance,” March Madness.
“The biggest thing is that you have to believe, that’s the first thing,” Jeff Capel told PSN on Monday. “Especially when you’re in a position like we are, like NC State was last year. You have to believe. You have to play with incredible energy. You have to play with a little bit of desperation while still maintaining the right energy. Probably have to get a little bit lucky. But, you have to believe and you have to go out there and play.”
