Jeff Capel and his staff in are in the midst of a very busy offseason. In an attempt to improve upon an 11-21 season, they completely overhauled the roster, adding eight new players.
Now, they know which ACC opponents they will need to beat in order to have a successful 2022-23 season.
On Monday, the ACC released who the Panthers will play as part of their 20 game conference schedule, including a home and away series with North Carolina and an away game only versus Duke. They will also play Florida State, Syracuse, Georgia Tech, Louisville and Miami twice and host Boston College, Clemson, Virginia, and Wake Forest. The full schedule will be released at a later date.

Pitt finished 6-14 last year in ACC play and they're hoping the return of forward John Hugley, guards Nike Sibande and Jamarious Burton, along with the continued development of forward William Jeffress coupled with top-50 recruit guard Dior Johnson and top transfer guard, Nelly Cummings, will lead to a reversal of fortune.
