Pitt looks to rebound from its opening night loss to Saint Francis (Pa.) with Saturday's game against Drexel. The game will serve as the Dragons' season opener, and it's the first time universities' basketball programs have met. Jeff Capel is 4-1 all-time after non-conference losses and looks to prevent the Panthers from losing back-to-back non-conference games for the first time in his tenure.
