The Pittsburgh Panthers and Syracuse have officially joined the ACC. They make the 13th and 14th school
to join the division. This is a step up in the football world but it may be a lateral step in the
basketball world. The ACC wants to create a 16 team league. The 2 other schools they […]
The Pittsburgh Panthers have applied to join the ACC. The team wants to leave the Big East and head to
a conference that is more respected around the nation. No one shows the Big East any love and the move
could be good for the Panthers in football.
This just shows you how important football […]
After the devastating loss to Butler in the NCAA tournament, Ashton Gibbs the Pitt Panther’s junior guard
will be declaring for the draft. He will however not hire an agent until he tests the waters a bit so
if it doesn’t seem to be in his favor then he can come back to school. According […]

Add this fine blog to the legions of sites out there running March Madness projections as our very own house
statistician kicks things off with a breakdown of the Southeast regional and the Panthers’ chances of doing
some serious damage this year in a bracket that is weak at the top but surprisingly tough at […]

After a tense week of waiting to see where Pitt would be seeded after their early exit from New York City at
the hands of the Connecticut Huskies, the Panthers’ wait finally came to an end this evening as it was
revealed that they were given the #1 seed in the Southeast Regional and the […]

I understand the frustration around the city today, after all the Panthers just certainly missed a chance at
a #1 seed and are now destined for the 2 line with Texas, Purdue, BYU and San Diego State while Notre Dame
and Duke take what would have been Pitt’s if only they had won yesterday. While […]

The only downside to the double bye, aside from the rust that comes from waiting to play while everyone else
is into the rhythm of the games, is that it trims the maximum number of games that the Panthers can play in
the Garden to a mere three games. That is really a shame because […]

Okay, I have no idea of what happened last night in the first half but I think that the people who are
worried about this happening regularly in March probably should be filed under the Much-Ado-About-Nothing
heading. Getting up for a team that you absolutely throttled once, even after a tough loss to a bunch […]

Previously, we queried whether the Pens would be able to pull out the Atlantic division and this was your
response:
Will the Penguins win the Atlantic Division?
No. Injuries are taking a toll. (53%, 49 Votes) Yes, but just by a hair. (24%, 22 Votes) You know who sucks?
The Islanders. (18%, 17 […]

Huggins came out with a perfect game plan last night (say what you want about the man off of the court but he
knows his way around the game of basketball) when he decided to have the ‘Eers turn the game into a
slow-ball slugfest in the first half. With his bench largely nonexistent these […]

Saturday was just one of those games, really. When you post your second worst per possession scoring game of
the season, your worst offensive rebounding game of the season and your fourth worst turnover percentage
game of the season there really isn’t any amount of defense that you can play to overcome that sort of […]
