No coach wants it to happen, but sometimes a team may need a wake-up call.
If that’s the case, Jeff Capel’s Pitt squad got one last night. The Panthers, riding high off a near-miss at Iowa and a dominating second half against Duquesne, seemed to enter their game with Niagara, a two-win team from the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, thinking they could win by simply walking on the court.
Turns out, they can’t and they didn’t, as Pitt fell to the Purple Eagles 71-70 in a game that represented a harsh reality for the young team.
