Pitt declines postseason basketball
Associated Press
Pitt announced Friday that its men’s basketball program will not participate in any postseason tournaments.
Athletic director Allen Greene said in a statement that the Panthers will pass on postseason opportunities to focus on the future.
“Coach (Jeff) Capel and I are fully committed to positioning Pitt basketball for sustained success in the ACC and NCAA Tournament,” Greene said. “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.”
Pitt lost to Notre Dame in the opening round of the ACC tournament and will end the season with a record of 17-15.
