NCAA Basketball

On their weekly Pitt football mailbag podcast, Post-Gazette insiders Christopher Carter and Stephen Thompson answer reader questions. Among them: What is Panthers coach Pat Narduzzi's biggest problem following a blowout loss to SMU and with tough games against Clemson, Louisville and Boston College looming? Is it quarterback Eli Holstein's play? Or is it poor tackling and offensive line play? How soon could Holstein be benched in favor of backups including Nate Yarnell?

Later, they get into some basketball topics. How deep will coach Jeff Capel's rotation go this season? Will Brandin Cummings prove to be a big-time shot maker like his brother Nelly? And will Pitt have another ACC sixth-man award winner in 2024-25 after Nike Sibande and Ishmael Leggett won the honor the past two years?
