DANTE TAYLOR RUMORS & GOSSIP
Pitt vs. Georgetown: Another matinee at MSG
One down and ten to go before Jamie Dixon is cutting the nets down in Indianapolis. Number two comes today against Georgetown, a team Pitt beat back in January, back when people still believed Pitt was good with Tray Woddall in the lineup. At the time it seemed like good things were to come, but in reality that game was really the lone bright spot in Pitt’s season.
The last...

A fond farewell
Yes, it's way too little, way too late. But for one night, Pitt basketball looked like a team worthy of their lofty preseason rankings. They were far from perfect - including being way too sloppy handling the ball - but by the end of Pitt's 20 point win over St. John's, it felt like last year's team was on the court.
It was finally a team win (via the Trib):

Pitt can't rally past No. 17 Louisville
It's been a long time between wins for Pittsburgh. That doesn't mean the Panthers have forgotten how to string together a victory.
J.J. Moore scored 16 points and Dante Taylor added 11, but Pittsburgh fell 57-54 against No. 17 Louisville on Sunday for the Panthers' fifth straight loss.
''We don't have to learn how to win again. We know how to win,'&...

Panthers Fall Short At Louisville
J.J. Moore led the Panthers with 16 points, Dante Taylor finished with 11 and Nasir Robinson pulled down a game-high 11 boards. A 1-9 performance from three-point range stalls the Panthers from getting any closer.

What Is This Thing Called Optimism?
That’s strange. There’s a weird feeling among Pitt fans and the basketball team. It’s been a couple months since we had this sensation.
Pitt notched its first Big East road win. Coach Dixon moved to 5-4 in games at Morgantown — more wins down there than the previous six head coaches if you are wondering.
Pitt did a very good job defending the 3-point shot...

A Couple Leftover B-Ball Thoughts
A couple things I forgot to include in the basketball post from earlier.
Once again, the free throw shooting in the final minute played a role in making the game tighter than it should have been. With a minute left, Pitt had a 9 point lead, 70-61. Pitt shot 4-8 on free throws down the stretch. Dante Taylor was fouled and missed both FTs. Then Nasir Robinson went only 1-2 when he...

Pitt wins City Game 80-69
It wasn't always pretty, but Pitt did what it needed to do to beat cross-town rivals Duquesne 80-69 at the Consol Energy Center. And what it needed to do was use its size and strength to overpower the smaller A-10 team and dominate the glass.
Junior Dante Taylor returned from a two game absence due to migraines and made the most of his opportunity, despite coming off the bench...

Pitt ends PA tour with city game win
We started off the night by going to the Souper Bowl Bar on 5th Ave., across from Consol Energy Center. I couldn’t tell you how the food was because I didn’t have any. Some guy was eating a sandwich next to us that I guess would be classified as a hoagie that looked pretty good though.
I can however tell you about the $4 24 oz. Molson special they had going, which was...

Exhibition Basketball Looms
Can you believe that there is no Pitt football this Saturday, but basketball instead? It’s true. The first of a couple exhibition games tip-off this Saturday at 4pm.
The fighting LaRoche Redhawks will make the arduous 12.5 mile trip to the Pete. The defending Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) champs will look to show everyone that just because they are D-III,...
