Pitt/UCONN
I thank GOD every day that PItt dropped PSU from their basketball schedule and picked up LaRoche instead. That will immediately improve Pitt's RPI.
PItt loses 3 key players, is expected to stink and now owns road wins over Cuse, Cincy, and now UCONN...Two words: Jamie Dixon.
BTW, I HATE Jim Calhoun...One of most arrogant college coaches in the nation...He's an entitled, nasal toned braggart...VERY average against Pitt lately...
Pitt's RPI has to be top 5 now...
Are you kidding me?

Re: Pitt/UCONN
Led the game with 10:00 left vs. Texas.
How'd PSU do against UNC-Behrend?

Re: Pitt/UCONN
...and lost by 16. I'm just giving Titan a rough time. Pitt has definitely improved since that game and they weren't even bad at that time. In case everyone forgot, go back and read the thread I made after watching the game. I was surprised how quickly Pitt was starting to rebuild after everything they had lost.

Re: Pitt/UCONN
Jamie Dixon is possibly the best coach in the nation. He is an average recruiter, but he has built a great program. I love watching Pitt basketball and have for the past few years. I am a Buckeye fan, but I get frustrated with Matta struggling to make the tournament with great recruits while Dixon takes quality guys and turns them into great players.

Re: Pitt/UCONN
Dixon is awesome. Not sure that I'd say he is an average recruiter. It has actually benefitted Pitt not getting many one-and-done 5-star guys. Get guys in the system, coach them up, hopefully they buy-in and mature a little, and that's how you build a program. Plus, doesn't he have 3 former recruits in the NBA, not too shabby. Especially considering western PA puts out maybe 1 D-1 player per year.
