We're talking basketball again on today's Morning Pitt after the Pitt mens basketball team took a 16-point loss to Duke that maybe didn't feel quite as bad as it was (which is a problem in and of itself). Plus, the Pitt womens basketball team has a major problem on its hands. We're discussing that and more on the Thursday edition of the Morning Pitt.
Pitt's transfer portal class isn't very highly-regarded, but is that a product of not adding any big-name transfers?

All that and more on the Wednesday edition of the Morning Pitt.
Pitt's got a game tonight - the Panthers host No. 4 Duke at the Petersen Events Center for a 9 pm tipoff - so we're talking some basketball on today's Morning Pitt. Why have the last few losses been especially discouraging? We're talking about that and more on the Tuesday edition of the Morning Pitt.

Thanks to graduation, the NFL and the transfer portal, Pitt lost some key contributors from the 2025 roster this season.

We're ranking the top five position groups that were hit the hardest on today's Morning Pitt.
As Pitt gets ready for a tough matchup at Virginia, we are asking a few questions on today's Morning Pitt: How did the Panthers end up like this? Why are they so inconsistent and why do they struggle so much on offense? Answers - or attempts to answer - those questions and more on the Tuesday edition of the Morning Pitt.
It's not easy doing a daily podcast about Pitt basketball these days after the Panthers fell to 9-13 overall and 2-7 in the ACC with Saturday's 11-point loss at Clemson. On today's Morning Pitt, we're talking about some of Pitt's biggest issues - and why it's so hard to talk about a team that loses like these Panthers do.
How has Allen Greene done in 15 months as Pitt's Athletic Director? Which first and second-year receivers could break out? Who will be the most impactful transfer? How would we fix NIL? Answers to those questions and more in this week's Morning Pitt Mailbag.
There was some big news on Wednesday, as Pitt announced a new ticket strategy that eliminates two giant sections from the available inventory. What does that mean for the crowd this season?

Jeff Capel had some pointed comments about the Pitt fanbase in the wake of the Panthers' 81-72 loss to N.C. State at the Petersen Events Center on Saturday. Was the Pitt head coach right? On today's Morning Pitt, we're looking at his comments, what he meant, why he said it and more.
We've got some great questions in this week's Morning Pitt Mailbag, ranging from assessments of the Pitt's haul in the transfer portal to the reasons that players transfer. Plus this: What are the best wins and the worst losses of the Jeff Capel era?
If Pitt is going to improve in 2026, that improvement won't just come from the transfer portal. The Panthers are going to have to get better by having their returning players improve as well.

On Saturday night, Pitt lost to Louisville by 41 points - the Panthers' biggest margin of defeat since Jeff Capel became head coach in 2018. How is that kind of thing happening in Capel's eighth year running the program? We're trying to answer that question and more on today's Morning Pitt.
