Pitt’s athletic director Allen Greene shared that the men’s basketball team will be declining postseason tournament opportunities to focus on the future. This is the second year in a row Pitt has declined postseason play.
“Coach Capel and I are fully committed to positioning Pitt Basketball for sustained success in the ACC and NCAA Tournament. Our responsibility is to relentlessly evaluate and enhance every aspect of our program, ensuring it reflects the championship spirit of our city. Because that work is already underway, we’ve determined that the best path forward for our program is to forgo postseason tournaments this year as we build for the future,” Greene wrote in a press release.
The Panthers finished their season with an overall record of 17-15 (8-12 in ACC).
