I spent most of Monday working on an analysis of Pitt’s season – what went wrong, what has to improve for the...

Might as well try to win this thing
Sixty-six of Pitt's 68 points against Butler came from underclassmen. Yes, it's the CBI. Yes, Butler wasn't very good either. But 66 of 68? That's a feel-good number in a season that lacked a lot of positives. It's not so much that Dixon has taken away chances from Ashton and Nasir in favor of the younger guys, it's that the seniors are playing with a lack...

Pitt makes first Final Four under Dixon…in CBI
Pitt beat Princeton in the second round of the CBI last night 82-61 sending them to a Final Four matchup at Butler on Wednesday night. I’m glad Pitt waited until te CBI to start scoring 80+ points a game, because last night was the second game in a row the Panthers did it.

Pitt hangs on for win over Oklahoma State, 74-68

Saturday afternoon, Patterson nearly got that elusive triple-double against Oklahoma...
