With a focus on the future, the Pitt men’s basketball team has declined postseason basketball tournament opportunities.
"Coach Capel and I are fully committed to positioning Pitt Basketball for sustained success in the ACC and NCAA Tournament,” Pitt Athletic Director Allen Greene said in a statement. “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."
The Panthers went 17-15 overall and 8-12 in conference play during a season that came to an end with a loss to Notre Dame in the first round of the ACC Tournament on Tuesday.
