Now, Pitt is motivated to make it back to the big dance for the first time since Jeff Capel’s 2022-23 squad. As announced on Thursday, the team has a new motto that echoes its motivation: “Leave No Doubt.”“We left last season with a very bad taste in our mouths,” Jaland Lowe said. “That just really fuels the fire for this year, for this group of guys. Everybody knows what’s on the table, what we expect. This year, our motto is “Leave No Doubt,” so we’re going to make that happen.”“This year, we’re taking that as motivation, so I think “Leave No Doubt” is the perfect analogy, perfect phrase that we’re coming out here and making a statement that we’re one of the top teams in the country and one of the top teams in the ACC. Work is the only thing that’ll get us there, but the motivation piece is there, the personnel is there, as long as we keep our foot on the gas this preseason, I think everything will shape out when the season starts and when the season is over. We’ll look back like, yeah, we left no doubt for sure.”Pitt will open the 2024-25 campaign with a home game against the Radford Highlanders of the Big South Conference on Nov. 4.</div></body>
