The next few days are going to be interesting for Pitt as the football team is set to take on its toughest opponent yet in No. 20 SMU -- yes, that bar has been raised yet again -- and the men's basketball team will kick off its season against Radford on Monday at the Petersen Events Center. I'll provide live coverage from both games, so follow along.
Until then, let's talk about where these two teams stand heading into their respective games. The football team is still undefeated and is coming off its best defensive performance of the season. Pat Narduzzi also announced Wednesday on his weekly radio show that Eli Holstein is "ready to roll" after being knocked out of last Thursday's game. Narduzzi said Monday that it was a "wait and see" type of situation with Holstein, but he was cleared yesterday.
The men's basketball team opened their schedule with an exhibition against Point Park last week and then scrimmaged Cincinnati over the weekend, so they should be in a good spot heading into Monday's opener. Jeff Capel will more than likely provide an update on Amsal Delalić's status during Friday's media availability. So, ask whatever is on your mind as we prepare for an exciting weekend.
