The Panthers were led by fifth-year head coach Jeff Capel and played their home games at the Petersen Events Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Panthers finished the season 24–12, 14–6 in ACC play to finish in a three-way tie for third place.

They upset Iowa State in the first round before losing to Xavier in the second round. This marked Pitt's best season since 2014.
Previous season
