But when your in a league where you have 4 or 5 teams that regularly land pro prospects, this is what your gonna see. The type of recruit that PITT needs to compete in the ACC DOESNT want to play in a Jamie Dixon coached system. Not saying they need to get rid of him, they don’t. But this is what your going to get most of the time.

Love, love, love this sign at Duke/Pitt last night!!! Thank you, Adam!

What the heck was the suspended Durand Johnson doing sitting at the end of the Pitt bench? If he is suspended, he is SUSPENDED!

Just another case where Steve Pederson is not doing his job correctly!!
Wait? What? Never mind . . . . .

Duke hadn’t been shooting nearly as well of late as they did last night. If Duke missed 2 or 3 more threes than they did, it could have been tight. Really liked Chris Jones’s performance.

With much less talent and a horrible point guard; they did not quit. Good effort.

If nothing else this team is FINALLY showing that Pitt grit. Optimism.

Still always seemed that Duke was ahead by 25, didn’t it?

Thank you, my Blue Devils!

That said, something to build on.

Still lacking a knock-down 3 hammer from outside.

Keeping it respectable is not what they should aspire to.

Some hope for the future but clearly not this year.
