Here’s one way to distract yourself from today’s loss: Fede Federiko is the first Pitt basketball player with such a surname (of various spelling) since McKee’s Rocks’ Gino Federico in the 2001-02 season. Like Federiko, Federico joined the team as a sophomore and was part of the first Pitt basketball team to reach the NCAA Tournament since 1993. Is it just a coincidence that we happen to be on the path towards our first birth since 2016?
Coach Capel, if you’re reading this, we need to recruit more players with the last name Federiko!!
