2023 Tournament PreviewThe fifth year was the charm for coach Jeff Capel, who went from winning no more than six ACC games in any season to coming within one game of a conference title this year. The result is Pittsburgh's first trip to the Big Dance since 2016. The Panthers rank 24th in offensive efficiency (per KenPom) with two primary scorers in 6-4 senior guard Jamarius Burton (15.6 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 4.4 apg) and 6-7 junior forward Blake Hinson (15.6 ppg, 6.2 rpg). Hinson shoots 38.4 percent from 3-point range (on 237 attempts) while senior Greg Elliott (10.4 ppg) knocks down 42 percent from deep. Pitt took a big hit losing 6-9 junior John Hugley (14.8 ppg, 7.9 rpg in 2021-22) early, but 6-11 sophomore Fede Federiko (7.0 ppg, 5.6 rpg) stepped up in the paint. A down year for the ACC means Pitt only has four Quad 1 wins, but the Panthers have no glaring weaknesses as they enter the Midwest's 11-seed play-in game.
