Pitt Wins BIG over Syracuse

april — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 03:44:11 +0000

Pitt took it right to Syracuse. Beat them soundly early, and never let them get close after the 1st quarter. At 45-14, with 4 turnovers forced, control of the clock and nearly 400 yards of total offense. In the box score the only negative continues to be penalties. Pitt committed 10 for 99 yards. That still is a big problem for a team that does not rely on being overly aggressive and attacking.

This was actually more dominating a win for Pitt than over Maine or FIU. Both of which seemed more like superior size and strength wearing the other side down over 4 quarters. This one was about superior talent just taking the other team out right in the first half.

It’s time for some Pitt football!

Alan — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 18:55:18 +0000

It is time to get your Pitt football jerseys out of the closet. It is time to find your blue and gold beads. And it is definitely time to get ready to cheer, run around until the flow of energy is better. In other words, it is time to start hang out with the Pitt Club of the Lowcountry, again.

In its opening game of the season, Pitt travels to Utah. The last time these two teams met in 2004–it was not pretty for the Panthers. The game starts at 8:30 pm. It will be broadcast on versus.

The Pitt Club will gather at Hilton Head Brew Pub. There is a new chef and a new menu. There are also tvs outside on the back patio. I am anxious to try out the improvements. I hope you are as well.

Better season than expected

april — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 00:49:15 +0000

It was a sad evening, Pitt lost to Xavier in the 2nd round. The final score was 71-68. Those of us gathered at the Hilton Head Brew Pub were clearly disappointed, I am proud that the players did so well. Jamie Dixon really is an amazing coach. Pitt, however, had a much better season than was expected. They were expected to finish 9th in the Big East and instead tied for 2nd. The players will mature and do well next year. As the lovely Shelia Mills texted me, ” football season starts on September 2nd against Utah!”

No. 3 seed Pitt defeated No. 14 seed Oakland University, 89-66, today in an NCAA first-round game at the Bradley Center. The Panthers will play No. 6 Xavier, which beat No. 11 seed Minnesota, 65-54, earlier today.

Pitt finished the first half on a 26-8 run to take a 39-26 lead into the locker room at halftime of today’s NCAA first-round game against Oakland University at the Bradley Center.

Pitt trailed 18-3, but the Panthers scored the 12 points to take command of the game. Oakland was held without a field goal for more than seven minutes late in the half.

Double Bye seems costly — Pitt loses to ND.

april — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 03:48:13 +0000

Pitt, Syracuse and Villanova all were upset today at the Big East Tournament. They all had double byes.

Pitt played an ugly game against Notre Dame. They had chances down the stretch to win the game but nothing would go in for the Panthers. The final score was 50-45.

Brad Wanamaker scored 16 for Pitt (24-8). This is the second year in a row that Pitt had a double bye and lost their opening game at the Big East Tournament.

We’ll have to wait until Sunday to see how this impacts their seeding in the tournament.

Notre Dame stuns Pitt

71-64 — Pitt rebounds in victory over St. John’s

april — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 22:57:22 +0000

Post Gazette: “Pitt led 31-23 at halftime after the bench scored 17 points. The Panthers got a big lift from Travon Woodall and Chase Adams, who were forced into minutes after Ashton Gibbs and Jermaine Dixon both picked up two fouls. Woodall had six points in the half and Adams three.

The Panthers also got a boost in the frontcourt. Reserve forwards Brown and Dante Taylor each scored four points.

St. John’s never cut the lead below five in the second half.”

Pitt takes on St. John’s

april — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 15:40:27 +0000

Pitt is hoping to rebound from the drubbing they took against Notre Dame. Pitt will take on St. John’s today at noon at Madison Square Garden.

Madison Square Garden is Pitt’s home away from home. Since the 2000-01 season, Pitt has won two Big East Tournament titles, appeared in seven of the last nine Big East Tournament title games and amassed a 23-10 overall record in the arena. It has played 33 games there since the 2000-01 season. Pitt appeared in the country’s first-ever nationally televised basketball game at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 28, 1940, a 57-37 win at Fordham. Pitt also has three New York area players on its roster: point guard Travon Woodall (Brooklyn), freshman center Dante Taylor (Greenburgh) and sophomore guard Ashton Gibbs (Scotch Plains, N.J.). Head Coach Jamie Dixon was born in New York City and spent time living in the city as a child. Assistant Coach Brandin Knight guided Pitt to the 2003 Big East Tournament title there and video coordinator Rasheen Davis is a Bronx, native.
