    Pitt Basketball

     I just finished watching Pitt loose to Villanova. If I didn't know better I would have believed I was watching Louisville beat Pitt. Coach Jay Wright took a page from Coach Pitino. It was easy. Double Young, Drive on Blair, and play aggressive defense. Coach Pitino said in an interview last year that he could see not weekness in Pitts play. He then went on to say that he watch 3 nights of film on Pitt and of course he found the weekness. I was yelling at my poor wife last year that Coach Pitino has just shown the basketball world how to beat Pitt. Of course Louisville had little trouble dispatching the Panthers this year. It seems as though that if other Big East Coachs were watching, WELL......... I feel if I was a Big East basketball coach I'd have Blair on the bench in 7 or 8 minutes every time I played them, regardless what the cost to my team. With out Young and Blair Pitt might be just another basketball team.

    Tought loss. I didn't get to see it, but it didn't even seem like it was close based on the score. Louisville has always been big trouble for Pitt. I hope you're wrong about other teams like Villanova learning from them. Usually Dixon is able to adapt to whatever tactics are employed against him so I'm sure he'll be able to come up with a scheme for any defense. Hopefully they just had a really bad night and they'll shake it off. We're probably going to drop down to around 12th after last night.
