Episode 975: Pitt head coach Jeff Capel

Marching to Madness

Pittsburgh head coach Jeff Capel returns to MTM as he starts his seventh season with the Panthers and brought Pitt back into the NCAA Tournament in 2023 for the first appearance since 2017. The Panthers were 22-11 last year and were erroneously left out of the NCAAT despite winning 11 of their last 14 ACC games. Pittsburgh returns a solid group of contributors from a year as Ish Leggett could be the catalyst as he is the leading returning scorer and led Pitt in rebounds.

Topics of Discussion include:

• The abilities of Jaland Lowe with his ballhandling and playmaking skills
• How Ish Leggett could get even more shots this upcoming season
• Stylizing the Panthers’ three-point attack
• The solidity of assistants Jason Capel, Tim O’Toole and Milan Brown
