Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

This week, as we wrap up the ACC men's basketball regular season, we're joined by special guest Mike Wilson, the Assistant Editor of Cardiac Hill. Will Ojanen and Jim Quist talk with Wilson about the Pitt men's basketball team. The fits and starts that head coach Jeff Capel has and will face along the way. Wilson also gives a taste of what's to come with Pat Narduzzi's 2021 squad.

We open up the can of worms immediately to find out what's behind all of the Pitt men's basketball transfers. We start with Xavier Johnson's passive-aggressive relationship with Capel.

Johnson isn't the only player transferring. On the heels of Johnson's announcement Au'Diese Toney decided to follow suit.

The impact of losing two players and who steps up? Analyzing the first game after the changes as Pitt faced North Carolina.
