@vmpops @JimHammett That’s a good point too. Pitt should be clear of the bubble next year or it’s time for a fresh start.

@dan_antonacci15 @JimHammett Agree. He could also make a run to the ACC final, maybe win it. That's always been an option, too! One and done in NCAA as a 14 seed isn't enough.

Something we thought was going to happen did not actually happen and in this week’s 3-2-1 column, we are breaking down that topic at length: 247sports.com/college/pittsb…

@vmpops @JimHammett Top 5 seed OR Sweet 16 appearance is my bare minimum for bringing him back after next year. Winning a play-in game or a 7/10 matchup is not enough.

@JimHammett Great stuff, Jim. But: "pretty much has to make the NCAA Tournament or it better have a really, really good reason why it would miss the event." No. Injuries, illness, legal & emotional issues, shafted by committee... won't wash. And just making NCAA isn't enough. Win something.

1. I don’t understand how people around the program were shocked they retained Capel, I’ve thought that was the most likely option for months and I have no sources. 2. NCAAT appearance is nowhere near enough. 1 win as a 10 seed is not enough. Top 5 seed or Sweet 16 or he’s gone.

@madeformarch 11 seeds, no. 16 seeds, yes.

Genuinely curious about this one: If your team makes the First Four, but loses in Dayton, do you feel like they actually made the NCAA Tournament?

Assistant coach is on the floor before the shot even goes in. Should be a tech every single time.

@BuckeyeDore @ryanhammer09 No, it turns the dumbass clown coach into the deciding factor.

@ryanhammer09 Yeah…this is one of those no one leaves happy situations By definition, it’s a tech. But calling it right there, in that moment, basically turns the refs into a deciding factor instead of the game, which is disgusting. A call and no call here both feel wrong

The rules of the game state this should be a tech for running on court early in all of these. Now we (+ refs) are also all human beings & understand emotions. But it still stops anything from happening the next play. Think the NCAA should visit this in the offseason & come away with some harder lines for next year. Until the buzzer goes off, stay OFF the court. Sean Miller almost strangled his assistant last night & rightfully so. Players get excited I get it more than one coach running on the floor lol

@schaeferdavid @Top100Rick Liar😂

@Top100Rick Gotta remember on hole outs - no wind, flat lies, and they can practice exact shots in advance. Greens also receptive. Just part of TGL. And on tech - multiple layers of data including Full Swing impact data and 35 yards of Toptracer ball path data. Most accurate in world.

2 big tech things TGL needs to work on for next season. Coming from a fan. 1. The response delay. 4 seconds from screen impact to result is insane. 2. The hole outs. Something is off. Too many hole outs undermines confidence in the entire system.

@JonFendler Had a lot of fun with this one last year

@BigSteve_H I have never seen you do anything but cry, give it a rest my guy.

Repeatedly shitting on your fanbase isnt going to help the donations that we are severely lacking to get any better

@MVCHoopsCentral They were not the last team in.

Also Miami-OH as the last at large team in is terrifying for the future of the sport. Went undefeated in the regular season, and their reward is a play-in game to make to the Bog Dance. What the heck. 😡

This is just as fun if not more than the typical bracket pools, I encourage everyone to give it a try!

@sam_golf I can understand that but I personally have no interest in majors going to PGAT courses. This includes the U.S. Open at Pebble and Riv as well. It cheapens the Major feel.

1) The Players should not be, and doesn’t need to be a major championship 2) I would like to see TPC Sawgrass host a major championship

Major respect for Sun Belt Commissioner Keith Gill. The most transparent NCAA Selection Committee Chairman in a long time.

Overall a good job from the committee. Great job in fact. They cared about Sunday, mostly went off metrics. Have to tip the cap that’s well done.

@pitt_moneyline Damn that’s reliable too

@dan_antonacci15 It’s been on trillys discord for a while

PG: Portal/ Spoon/ Moore SG: Nojus/ Portal SF: Felesi/ Portal PF: Roman/ Foster C: Portal/ Portal/ Mullen Need to hit on the starting point guard and center rotation to even have a chance

@pitt_moneyline Interesting, haven’t heard that from anyone else. Why not?

@dan_antonacci15 I don’t think he will be on the team

@pittwaffle101 You’re a piece of garbage. I’m embarrassed that you’re a Pitt fan.

And you made it to the G league congratulations buddy 🏆🥉🏆🤡🤡🤡🤡

@Scott_Stiller @NateBreisinger My point is that if they win, fans will show up regardless of who the coach is.

@dan_antonacci15 @NateBreisinger The coach matters because Capel is outcoached every game

Something I pointed out in an article I wrote yesterday. “Pitt averaged 5,742 fans per home game this season. The Pete sat at 45.9 percent capacity — the lowest of the Capel era and the second-lowest all-time at the Pete. The building reached 32.9 percent capacity in 2017-18 when Pitt went 0-18 in the ACC under Kevin Stallings.” The appetite rapidly declined this season for Pitt basketball. I don’t foresee it getting any better with Capel back in 2026-27.

@tsaundry13 @jaydenremade @PeteThamel At best he’s a G League guy three years removed from that Pitt team. You’re grabbing at straws to make Capel look worse than he really is.

@dan_antonacci15 @jaydenremade @PeteThamel I said g league !! And he was getting lottery predictions before last season, I don’t think a g league or 2 way contract is THAT far fetched

The decision at Pittsburgh came down to finances, as they would have owed him nearly $15 million. PItt is going to focus on pushing the resources to NIL.
