Garbage ass Pitt

BLows it again in the dance. When is the last time this team played to their seeds, because I sure as hell cant remember the last time they lost to a higher seed...

I am done with Pitt sports, every fucking year the football team and basketball team choke. 1.4 seconds, why are you even lined up to rebound? Brown should have been at the line and everyone else at half court.

The players change yet constant choking. The only common denominator is the coach. Get rid of Dixon ASAP.

Tough to fault Dixon since they never seem to have the solid recruits but compete. At some point they have to do better in the tourney dont they

That killed one of my brackets

I had them in the finals

It's the same thing with this team every year...high expectations and then underachieve. I don't care that they won the "regular season" Big East title. They lost in the first friggin' round at MSG then they were still awarded a #1 seed in arguably the easiest region. As much as I like Dixon, this game as any, is ultimately about winning championships and like Steve said, the common denominator is Dixon. It's the assistants who get most of the good recruits from the NY/NJ area anyway. I'm not blaming Dixon for this loss as he can't control a player's brain fart. They just better make some serious noise next year or it may be time to go in a different direction.

Well at least some major Pittsburgh sports teams have had recent success.

Happens every year....how could you not see it coming? I'm not saying that I expected them to lose to Butler.....but I saw this coming sooner or later....

Mack won that game for Butler. Hard to win when a guy makes every three-pointer he throws up, covered or not. They just caught a red hot Butler team, and aside from Nazir Robinson's brain fart at the end, I thought they played a really great game.

Dixon's not the problem though. It's the fact that they can't seem to get that one gamebreaker. They have no one guy to turn to when they need points. Until they get that, they'll never do well in the dance.

This Penn State fan approves of this message.

I've known of the University of Pittsburgh choke factor since 1981.

48-14

You are stoned, their top scorer got 2 shots in the 2nd half and they didnt force the ball from the only guy scoring on Butler. To top it off the foul at the end.

I went to the Power Arena game, which I guess was a good decision in hindsight. But, while there I was following on my phone. I knew Brown had 2 shots and thought the worst it could be was OT. How you mess that up is beyond me. That said, you have to look at Dixon. You just have to. I hate saying it because he's proven that he's a high end coach, but for some reason Pitt can't seem to get that big name guy. Name the last big name player at Pitt? Blair? That's the closest we've EVER gotten to a big name player.
