Pitt came back from Syracuse on Saturday with a win - and a lifeline of at least one more game this season. Now the Panthers are headed to Charlotte as the No. 15 seed in the ACC Tournament, where they'll face Stanford on Tuesday at 2 pm. Today, we're talking about the win over the Orange, some standout players and more.
Eli Holstein didn't improve in his second year as Pitt's starting quarterback; what makes us confident that Mason Heintschel will?

Spring camp is underway for the Pitt football team, who held its first two practices of camp on Monday and Wednesday of this week. We've been in the South Side for both sessions, and today, we're looking at some of the storylines that have stood out the most so far.
"I truly believe through the portal that we've got a better football team right now than we had last year." That's what Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi said during his first press conference of spring camp on Monday, so for today's Morning Pitt, we're asking a simple question: Is he right? Let's take a look at the Panthers' 2026 roster and compare it to last year.
After Pitt's first practice of spring camp on Monday, Pat Narduzzi held his first press conference of spring camp and talked about transfers, the offense, the receivers, the linebackers and a lot more. Here are five things that stood out in Narduzzi's first press conference of the spring.
It's the start of a new week, and we're kicking things off with a look at Pitt's win at Cal on Saturday and getting ready for spring camp, which opens today in the South Side. All that and more on the Monday edition of the Morning Pitt.
As the Pitt basketball season approaches its final week, we're asking the question again: What is going to happen with Jeff Capel? The Panthers' head coach is coming to the end of his eighth season and his team has lost more than it has won. Will Pitt move on from Capel? Should Pitt move on from Capel? We're looking at those questions and more on today's Morning Pitt.
Yesterday, we talked about the five most important transfers for Pitt this spring. Today we're shifting our focus to the returning players. Which five returning Panthers are most important for the team in 2026? Which players need to take a big step into more prominent roles and starting jobs? We're looking at the most important returning players on the Thursday edition of the Morning Pitt.
Pitt starts spring camp next week, and we're kicking off our coverage with a look at the newest Panthers. 16 transfers are joining the team for spring camp; which ones will be the most important? On today's Morning Pitt, we're looking at the five most important transfers - how they'll fit on the 2026 roster, what Pitt needs from them and a lot more.
We've got a special guest on today's Morning Pitt: it's Pitt volleyball associate head coach and general manager Kellen Petrone. A member of the Pitt volleyball staff throughout the Panthers' historic run of appearances in the national semifinals, Petrone joins us to talk about how Pitt has navigated the transfer portal, the additions to and departures from last year's roster, Olivia Babcock's growth and a lot more. This is a great listen for any fan of Pitt volleyball - and Pitt sports in general - on the Tuesday edition of the Morning Pitt.
The Pitt basketball team broke its losing streak with a win over Notre Dame on Saturday, and on today's edition of the Morning Pitt, we're talking about a few individual players who have been playing well, what the Panthers need to have happen if they're going to make the ACC Tournament and a lot more.
Pitt had the second-highest scoring average in the ACC last season. Can the Panthers finish there again? We're answering that plus questions about the Acrisure re-sizing, attendance, Brandin Cummings and a lot more in this week's edition of the Morning Pitt Mailbag.
Pitt's incoming recruiting class features four prospects at receiver. Could it be the best class of receivers the Panthers have signed since Pat Narduzzi became head coach in 2015? It just might be. On today's Morning Pitt, we're looking at the class, the historical comparisons and a lot more.
We've got some positive things to discuss about Pitt football today, as we're looking at the five most important players the Panthers retained this offseason. No. 1 is probably obvious, but who else were the key retentions for Pitt? All that and more on the Wednesday edition of the Morning Pitt.
The week of positivity continues on the Tuesday edition of the Morning Pitt, as we've got five (or so) good things happening at Pitt right now.

The week of positivity on the Morning Pitt is getting started today with a look at some of the best players Pitt has added over the last five years.

Would this year's Pitt basketball team beat the Kevin Stallings-led team that went 0-18 in the ACC? We're answering that question and a lot more in this week's Morning Pitt Mailbag.
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? It might be, so today we're looking back at the transfers who have joined the Panthers over the last five years: who have been the most high-profile additions and how have they done? 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.
