Olivia Babcock set the school record for kills in a single season in program history in the Panther’s 3-0 win over UMBC in the opening round of the NCAA tournament. Let’s break down the path to the record so far.
In 30 regular season contests she had 545 kills which averages out to 18.16 kills per game. In two NCAA tournament games she has 37 kills which is 18.5 kills per match. So even in the heat of the playoffs she is staying consistent and even has a slightly better average than during the regular season. This is also impressive as both of Pitts tournament wins have been 3-0 sweeps

Enough excuses, take out the pocket books and support Pitt Football. Or face being a Group of 5 has-been program. The choice is yours – Pitt fans. It reminds us of the Golden Panthers of the 1970s.

Its tough being a head coach. Nobody signs up for the job without knowing the consequences. The scrutiny is intense. Men or women’s sports. Especially at a Power 5 school. Pitt hoops has vastly underperformed for the past 4 years. The new coaching hires of Jeff Capel (Men) and Lance White (Women) in March and April of 2018 respectively have really struggled to progress even the slightest from their predecessors (Kevin Stallings and Suzie McConnell-Serio respectively).
University of Pittsburgh scored a huge win off the court today with William Jeffress Jr. committing to the program. That’s a win that Coach Capel needed this offseason. Jeffress, who turns 17 this summer, is not just a talented player, but a young man with character. The kind of character that defines programs. Jeffress is…
It was only a matter of time. The G-League is about to get the Nation’s top High School talent. Why not? They offer everything the NCAA doesn’t. With Jalen Green going to the NBA G-League, and with an extended offer to another top prospect, Greg Brown, the NBA G-League is quickly becoming the destination of…
With Trey Murphy III taking his talents to Virginia, Pitt is putting all of their eggs in the Will Jeffress basket. I’ve mentioned many times that Coach Capel said he was going to recruit the top talent to come to Pitt. He has, but the top talent isn’t coming. Murphy III makes Capel 0-7 this…
Coach Capel, and his staff, have ramped up their recruiting efforts lately to land 2021 5-Star Shooting Guard Aminu Mohammed. Shawn Harmon, Aminu Mohammed’s Guardian, told Stockrisers.com that Pitt Assistant Coach O’Toole has reached out to Aminu before and after the pandemic started. Even though Pitt hasn’t offered Mohammed a scholarship yet, he feels Pitt…

University of Pittsburgh Men’s Basketball team lost out on a potential replacement for Trey McGowens today when Jadun Michael decided to attend Elon University. Michael announced via Twitter that he decided to stay home, and play in North Carolina. He’s from Burlington, North Carolina. That would have been a huge pick-up for Capel. Instead Pitt still…
Just entering into the NCAA Transfer Portal is University of San Francisco Guard Charles Minlend. Minlend could be exactly what the University of Pittsburgh Men’s Basketball team is looking for. Minlend, a Junior Graduate, is 6’4 Shooting Guard from Concorde, North Carolina. Minlend averaged 14/5/2 on 42% shooting from the field. Minlend shot 30% from…
The University of Pittsburgh Men’s Basketball Team have been active again in the NCAA Transfer Portal again. Reaching out to Jadun Michael from Wichita State, and Trey Murphy III from Rice.

Adama Sonogo, a 5-star recruit from The Patrick School in Hillside, NJ, has trimmed his list to 10 schools. The University of Pittsburgh has made the list. According to Rivals.com Sonogo, a 6’9 Center from Mali, is ranked 49th Nationally in the 2021 class. The 9th best Center prospect. Along with Pittsburgh, Sonogo’s list includes…
Some good news coming out of the University of Pittsburgh Men’s Basketball program today. Au’diese Toney announced on Twitter that he has decided to stay, and not transfer from the program. Toney, a Sophomore Guard from Alabama, averaged 9.5/4.8/1.2 on 46% shooting from the field last year. Toney was a key rotation player off the…

The Houston Baptist graduate has received offers from the following schools. Arkansas, USC, Wake Forest, Stanford, DePaul, Ole Miss, NC State, Clemson, Northwestern, Liberty, Butler, Vanderbilt, and Georgetown have…
University of Illinois swingman, Alan Griffin, has entered the NCAA transfer portal. Griffin, a Sophomore guard, is a talented outside shooter with the Fightin’ Illini. Jeff Capel, and the Pitt Staff, didn’t waste anytime reaching out to Griffin. Other top programs have reached out to Griffin. Maryland, Texas Tech, Dayton, Marquette, Georgia, Nebraska, St. Louis…
After a disappointing 5-7 campaign in 2017, Pitt Football coach Pat Narduzzi enters an important season that could determine long-term future as the Panther’s Head Coach.
After finishing 0-19 in the ACC in his 2nd season at Pitt, sources are starting to report that Pitt has relieved Kevin Stallings of his duties as Men’s Basketball Coach. Still no official word from the University on the terms of the split Stay tuned to @IntoPitt on Twitter for all the latest details as…
As Pitt gets ready to wrap up the Sunshine State Classic tomorrow (March 6) against St. Peter’s in Kissimmee, Fl, let’s take a look at what has been a fast and promising start to the 2018 season for the team. They opened up the season in Kissimmee, FL with the Sunshine State Classic (Part 1)…
Pitt opened up ACC Conference play this weekend down in Raleigh, N.C against the N.C State Wolfpack and the weekend didn’t exactly get started the way the Panthers wanted it to. In Game 1 on Friday, both teams were scoreless thru 4 innings until the Wolfpack broke things open with a 4 run fifth inning…
As Pitt fans, alumni and students are slowly counting down the days to when this nightmare basketball season is over with both the Men’s and Women’s teams. Although, the Women did win a couple of ACC games and showed progress with a young team under Coach Suzie McConnell-Serio unlike a young Men’s team under Kevin…
Heading into the 2017-18 Pitt Men’s Basketball season all we heard were the jokes, Do you think this team will win 1 game this year, No way they are going to win an ACC game and so on and so forth. And PITT fans hate being the punchline for people’s jokes and that is why…
After an 82-78 OT victory over Mt. St Mary’s on Tuesday improved PITT’s record to 5-4 and with a date with rival West Virginia in a renewal of the basketball version of the Backyard Brawl, How should we be looking at this basketball season for the Panthers? Honestly, the easiest and least frustrating way to…
You want to talk about two teams that are in two different emotional states right now, just look at the matchup at Heinz Field on Saturday between N.C State and PITT. The Wolfpack come into the game with a record of 5-1 (3-0 in the ACC) and in a tie for 1st with Clemson in…
September 8……..The last time that the PITT Volleyball team lost a match. After a 3-1 victory Sunday afternoon in Miami, Florida, PITT has now won 10 straight matches and are in a tie for 1st place in the conference with N.C State which could set up a huge match on October 22 at the Fitzgerald…
We all remember last season’s PITT-Syracuse game where they ran up and down the court and were just hitting threes all night……Wait hold on they run up and down the court in Basketball. My bad, but it is a good comparison when talking about last seasons 76-61 PITT victory at Heinz Field in front of…
I decided to jump into the weekly mailbag (or bi-weekly we will see) and answer any questions that you may have regarding anything PITT Athletics. I will try and answer anything from football to basketball to soccer, etc and have some fun with it as well. And I will try to do one every, if…
Yes, everyone involved with the PITT football program would rather be going into this game at 2-0 and coming off another big rivalry game victory. But, we all knew that 1-1 was a real good possibility heading into this season. But, unlike Penn State, PITT has another big game coming up this Saturday against Oklahoma…
In Head Coach Dan Fisher’s 5th season at the helm at PITT, he believes that “this is the strongest group” we’ve had in his tenure at the University. And that is a large amount of praise to give this team heading into the season after last year’s team made a minor impact in the NCAA…
It’s that week of the year that both PITT and Penn State fans look forward to. That’s right, don’t believe Penn State fans and media when they try to play down this week because they believe their athletic department when they say that they are “Unrivaled”. Which I call BS on because they need this…
Over the past few seasons since Pat Narduzzi has come aboard, the PITT Football program has started to prove that they belong in the conversation with the rest of the top tier teams in the ACC. And the next thing that they need to do is win the ACC Coastal and make an appearance in…
After a fast start to the 2015 season for the team, they kind of fizzled out with a 4 game losing skid to close out the season to finish out 10-7-1. But, there was plenty to look forward to for the 2016 season, but that excitement was tempered quickly when they were only able to…
42-39…..You say that around any group of PITT fans and you will most likely get a loud “LETS GO PITT!” chant going. Say that score around a group of Penn State fans and anger will soon follow. And yet, when you hear the leadership of the Penn State Athletics Department speak, it sounds like they…
Pitt added another recruit to their 2018 recruiting class in the form of Thomas Jefferson defensive tackle Devin Danielson.
Over 50 high school football teams made their way to the UPMC Sport Complex on the South Side this weekend as Pitt held their annual passing camp. The camp consists of a 7 on 7 tournament split into four brackets. This year’s winners were Penn Hills, Steel Valley, Mt. Lebanon, and Clairton. Many former, current,…
We are now midway thru June and about a month a way from Training Camps starting across the country for college football. So, let’s take a look at the ACC and what to expect this year from the conference. Boston College: Ever since they moved from the Big East to the ACC, the Eagles have…
Pitt landed its fourth 2018 commit in the form of Butler lineman Jake Kradel.
Pitt football has historically struggled with actual attendance in the seats. A new hidden reason will make it even more challenging in the years to come.
I guess I should finish the list of the 16 best moments or players from the 2016 PITT football season as the 2017 Spring Game is fast approaching. For this post, Who made the PITT offense go? Who helped James Conner make his comeback and look like he didn’t miss a beat? Who helped Nate…
I know the title may have gotten your attention and may be a little harsh considering it is Kevin Stallings first season at the helm. But, when you talk to most PITT fans you would think the ship was sinking and there is no way to right it. But, this was not a good basketball…
The Pitt 2017 football recruiting class brought in by Pat Narduzzi is one of the brightest in recent memory.
Canada not only raised the scoring potential of the team by two touchdowns, but also raised the stakes for Narduzzi and the search firm that are scouring the country for potential replacements.
Was there a player on the entire PITT roster who took a bigger step forward than Quadree Henderson this season? In my opinion, I don’t think so. We saw glimpses of what Henderson could do for this team as the 2015 season went on and saw him burst onto the scene in the Military Bowl…
Our #13 moment of 2016 goes to Offensive Coordinator Matt Canada. When Day 1 of the Matt Canada era began, it was safe to say many PITT fans did not know what direction the offense was going to go after Jim Chaney left after one year. And I say the Matt Canada era because…
The #14 moment goes with the #15 moment as it was the return of the true PITT identity. The block PITT was never the identity that fans and you could probably say the university never truly got behind. And when AD Scott Barnes, Chancellor Patrick Gallagher and the Athletic Department announced last season that PITT…
(Video Courtesy of ACC Digital Network) As we are 2 weeks away from the Pinstripe Bowl in New York City, I am going to pick the Top 16 games or moments from the 2016 football season. The #16 game was the “All Offense, Little Defense” day against Syracuse to close out the regular season. And…
Here are a few words and phrases you can use to describe PITT Running Back James Conner: Hardworking, Courageous, Never Give Up Attitude, The Will To Win and I could go on, but the point is made. When Conner announced that he would declare for the 2017 NFL Draft after the bowl game on December…
Jamel Artis and Michael silenced a loud Terrapin Stadium on Tuesday night.
It may not have been pretty, but Pitt basketball has moved to 4-1 on the season.
The 2016-17 Pittsburgh Panthers are 1-0 (somehow).
2019 WPIAL linebacker Tyler King is the next Prospect you need to hear about. This young man has the size, speed, and talent to play for the Panthers.
Kevin Howard is a nationally recognized WR recruit. Listed at 6’3 200lbs, he would be a valuable addition to the class of 2017.
A question that I didn’t think coaches and fans would be searching for answers at mid-season still is: What is wrong with the Secondary?
Since Tony Dorsett, Pitt has had a reputation of recruiting top tier college football Running Backs. And this year’s stable of backs looks good for the years to come.
