Pitt Panthers prepare for competitive ACC season under Jeff Capel

The Pittsburgh Panthers men's basketball team heads into the upcoming ACC season under head coach Jeff Capel, who has been given a second chance following a challenging 13-20 season. Despite almost being let go due to his contract situation, Capel's return comes with conditions set by the new athletic director, Allen Greene, including staffing changes and program modernization. Key players include returnee Macari Moore and a strong group of portal pickups, such as Jonathan Powell and Baye Ndongo, who have experience from other ACC teams. The team's performance will be closely monitored as the ACC is expected to be highly competitive this year.
