Just curious, did you see Lord Huron this summer? I wonder how that would compare as a concert experience (albeit a very different one)

Pitt basketball made its preseason debut on Sunday with an 81-74 win over Providence in an exhibition game. Now that we've seen this year's Panthers in person, what do we think about the team? Have our expectations changed? 247sports.com/college/pitt...

"He prepares every game like he's going to be the starter." - Narduzzi on RS freshman LB Cam Lindsey

Chris Peak @pantherlair.bsky.social · 2d

"We found out a lot about the character we have in that room."

Chris Peak @pantherlair.bsky.social · 2d

Narduzzi says Mason Heintschel was responsible for three of Syracuse's seven sacks.

Chris Peak @pantherlair.bsky.social · 2d

Narduzzi says Syracuse didn't do anything different to get seven sacks on Mason Heintschel.

"It was something we did differently: we didn't execute very well."

Chris Peak @pantherlair.bsky.social · 2d

Narduzzi says Desmond Reid's limited playing time - only around 20 snaps - and an effort to keep him healthy played into Reid not having any targets in Saturday's game.

Chris Peak @pantherlair.bsky.social · 2d

And Narduzzi also says N.C. State has "the best set of defensive ends" Pitt has seen this season.

Chris Peak @pantherlair.bsky.social · 2d

Narduzzi says NC State running back Hollywood Smothers "is special. The best tailback we've faced to this point."

Chris Peak @pantherlair.bsky.social · 2d

Narduzzi says N.C. State is "the most talented football team we have played to date. I can guarantee you that."

Chris Peak @pantherlair.bsky.social · 2d

Not surprisingly, Narduzzi cites the penalties as a big problem, in addition to issues protecting the quarterback.

Chris Peak @pantherlair.bsky.social · 2d

Narduzzi says the offense didn't play very well. He says the noise at the Dome was more than Pitt encountered at Florida State.

Chris Peak @pantherlair.bsky.social · 2d

Narduzzi likes the way Pitt's players responded at Syracuse on Saturday, particularly on defense where the Panthers were considerably short-handed.

Chris Peak @pantherlair.bsky.social · 2d

We can still make this happen.

Chris Peak @pantherlair.bsky.social · 2d

Obviously we've got some site issues today (a lot of the Internet does, too). We'll post notable items from Pat Narduzzi's press conference here.

The No. 6 Pitt volleyball team just knocked off No. 4 Louisville in five sets on the road. Impressive win for the Panthers.

Olivia Babcock had 41 kills in the win.

Pitt' starting lineup for the exhibition game against Providence today:

Damarco Minor
Brandin Cummings
Barry Dunning Jr.
Roman Siulepa
Cam Corhen

Chris Peak @pantherlair.bsky.social · 3d

In Mason Heintschel's first two starts - one at home; one on the road - Pitt's offense was called for zero procedure penalties.

At the Dome last night, the Panthers were called for four false starts and one illegal motion (plus another pre-snap penalty that was declined).

Chris Peak @pantherlair.bsky.social · 3d

Final tally on last night:

30 total penalties called. 18 on Pitt (13 of which were accepted) and 12 on Syracuse.
