For the first time since roughly halfway through the 2015-2016 season, the Pittsburgh Panthers men’s basketball team has found themselves ranked in the AP top-25 poll. The Panthers come in at #25 this week, fresh off a win over Georgia Tech that was followed by domination of Syracuse in front of a packed Pete crowd.
POLL ALERT: Houston, Alabama, Kansas top AP Top 25, Marquette up to No. 6; No. 25 Pitt in poll for first time since 2016.
