their panel has us from 6th to 11th...Ish gets a Players to Watch mention...Pitt is It
Only two schools finished in the top 30 at BartTorvik.com without making the 2024 NCAA Tournament -- St. John's and Jeff Capel's Pitt Panthers, the latter of which went 12-8 in the ACC, and 10-3 in its final 13 games before Selection Sunday, but still landed on on the wrong side of the bubble. That was a tough break for Capel, who has guided the Panthers to a top-four finish in the ACC in two straight seasons but only has one postseason appearance to show for it. The good news is that four of the top six scorers are back -- most notably Ishmael Leggett, a 6-3 guard who averaged 12.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in 28.6 minutes per game last season after transferring from Rhode Island. That should be enough to have the Panthers in the at-large conversation again.
