Pitt has 13 ACC games left.
-Torvik has Pitt favored by at least 9 points in 6 of those games as of today.
-According to the current ratings, Pitt has 8 games left against teams outside the National Top 100.
-Only 4 games against Top national 50 teams left on the schedule (5 if you count Wake Forest using the rpi)
10-3 should be the goal for this team which puts us at 22-9 to finish the regular season. That should be enough I think to get in the tournament. Our remaining schedule is seriously not that hard, acc teams or not. We have proven we can win on the road with this team.
Pitt sits tied for 2nd place in the conference right now.
On top of that,
Brandin Cummings was just named the mvp of the Burger King Classic and was 4th all time in scoring in the event at over 30 points per game.
Jaland Lowe just recently dropped 40 points and destroyed Kordelius Jefferson, a 4 star top 100 guard headed to Houston. He is seriously in the running for Texas state player of the year.
And Carlton Carrington, after being arguably the best player at the Jordan Classic, just broke the scoring record at the MLK Classic going for 42 points (7-12 from 3) and 7 assists tonight. He is also surging.
It wasn't long ago Judah Mintz decommitted and this team was in shambles a year ago with quite a few people wanting change for the head coach. Capel has a chance to turn non believers into believers in the next couple months. Lets see if this team can get the job done before passing the torch to the talented newcomers. The opportunity is there for the taking. Capel and this team need to get the job done.
