You said it DFW and WOW i know that PITT campus must be on FIRE right now. I guess now PITT needs some top 25 recruits.

how Pitt couldn't make the Final 4 with their 2009 team was hard to believe. Now, you can't make it out by far, the softest region, with this squad...

I didn't realize the ghost of Bob Donato haunted the Verizon Center. Clearly, Jamie Dixon needs to re-evaluate his coaching philosophy. The hypotheticals keep coming! What would Hoyatalk say about Mike Brey's tenure? Jay Wright's? Next up: Mr. Jamie Dixon! ;D

Poor Pitt. Poor stupid stupid Pitt. Butler is so annoying - they could easily take that region. Guess I'm rooting for the Gators now. Strike that - I'm pulling for the Jimmer!

This is just getting embarrassing for the Big East. We beat all of these teams pre-season. What in the world happened?

Assuming Notre Dame wins tomorrow, there will be only 3 teams left in the tournament from the Big East. Unreal. The national media will have a field day with that stat on Monday.

Although, 2 teams will be knocked out solely because they were playing within conference

I got no sympathy for the PITT players AS THEY were kind of arrogant all season. ANOTHER FLAME OUT.

What a crazy ending to the Pitt-Butler game. Clearly, Jamie Dixon needs to re-evaluate his coaching philosophy. Heh. Though onencould legitimately ask why his guys even came close to that foul.

I can't imagine what that locker room is like right now. It's hard to lose a game, especially a tournament game, but losing THAT way. Just a braindead moment. Heartbreaking

The media are the ones kiss the BE's butt. Most of us having been saying all year that the conference is solid, but not necessarily producing elite teams. Pitt's elite status was exposed 8 weeks ago. They aren't even the best BE team. In other words, who cares about public perception of the BE?

When Pitt is best team in BE--the league is down. That dates back to Charles Smith, Jerome Lane, etc........ in 80's.
BE was supposed to be "down" and Big 10 was supposed to be loaded. So far--playing out like that.
Thing is--if you are "down" when 2 teams make it in '09, 1 in '10, and have chance to send 3 in final 16--with your own league knocking out 2--and 3 teams losing in last possession--it's not a bad league.

What a crazy ending to the Pitt-Butler game. Clearly, Jamie Dixon needs to re-evaluate his coaching philosophy. Know you are being sarcastic Dan--but he does. They foul all year in conference and get away with this type of crap and then get into NCAA's and it's called tight--and they exit. You've just received a beneficial but correct call to tie the game--why even bother sending anyone to the lane with 1.4 left? Worst case scenario--you are in OT. Best case--you have 1 pt lead and they have to inbound ball with your defense set and 1.4 with no timeouts--a very, very, likely win. So Jamie has guys hack at a guy 90 something feet away from the hoop to let official makeup for other call? That is a horrible job of coaching. Game management. If you think some of us fans rip III/Program--you should hear what this guy and his assistants say about Georgetown. It makes critical fans look tame. As for NCAA--they once again do a great job of icing a FT shooter as the officials check the "clock". This happens FAR too often and it's a joke.

My first question aboutt he Pitt-Butler game, before we even get to the 2 afthomless fouls in the last 2 seconds - why did the Pitt defender underneath let the Butler big guy have an uncontested lay-up with 3 seconds left and Pitt up one? FOUL the guy, make him hit both free throws to get the lead. Not smart basketball, then compounded by Robinson's foul 89 feet from the hoop.
