The Pitt men’s basketball team faced off against Dayton in a secret scrimmage last Saturday at Denison University, according to Stadium basketball insider Jeff Goodman. Although most stats and the score have not been made public, other details have emerged about the contest that could provide some insight into Pitt head coach Jeff Capel’s strategy for the upcoming season.
The matchup consisted of two standard 20-minute halves and a 10-minute period in which only zone defenses were utilized. Pitt started Trey McGowens and Xavier Johnson in the backcourt, Malik Ellison and Jared Wilson-Frame as forwards, and Terrell Brown at center.
