TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- The perception around Jeff Capel entering this season was clear.
Or, so we thought.
Every ounce of the makeup for this year's Pitt team is woven through its head coach.
Heather Lyke put her faith in him, and then she backed it up.
She believed, he worked, and the fruits of Capel's labor have his Panthers in firm position to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time since the Jamie Dixon days.
And, in the process, those fruits have completely altered the narrative around Capel as a Power Six basketball coach.
