@ Louisville, then 3 game home stand against Florida State, Wake, and Miami. Should be favored in all four. Need at least 3 of 4.

Apparently every fan base believes their team owns the branding for losing leads.

What does anyone know about this Buffalo wrestling team for tomorrow?

Just terrible news

January 2017 . Pitino clad in a white on white suit comes into the pete and downs the fighting stallings 106-51. Stallings manages to get tossed.

Sitting in Cabo airport after a golf vacation. Very nice. Thinking next year to do somewhere else in Mexico or Caribbean. All inclusive. Any suggestions?

Bring Chris Beatty back to the staff. He’s a heck of a recruiter. Staley is getting fired.

Here are Sagarin's Computer's (overall) current ACC ratings (with Pitt's home and away ratings added):

19 North Carolina = 86.41
20 Virginia = 86.33
27 Duke = 85.38
29 Pitt (Home) = 84.95
39 Clemson = 83.87
42 Miami-Florida = 83.66
44 NC State = 83.58
57 Pittsburgh = 81.99
59 Virginia Tech = 81.62
63 Wake Forest = 81.41
73 Syracuse = 80.16
84 Pitt (Away) = 79.03
121 Notre Dame = 75.84
130 Florida State = 75.22
132 Georgia Tech = 75.07
176 Boston College = 72.23
224 Louisville = 69.59

Here are Sagarin's Computer's more Pitt-favorable ("Recent") ACC ratings (with Pitt's home and away ratings added):

19 North Carolina = 86.30
23 Virginia = 85.87
24 Pitt (Home) = 85.67
29 Clemson = 84.99
32 Duke = 84.67
41 NC State = 83.51
46 Miami-Florida = 83.36
50 Pittsburgh = 83.05
58 Wake Forest = 81.90
66 Virginia Tech = 80.80
69 Syracuse = 80.60
70 Pitt (Away) = 80.43
123 Florida State = 75.71
131 Notre Dame = 75.18
137 Georgia Tech = 74.82
177 Boston College = 72.07
219 Louisville = 69.89

Here is the remaining schedule and Pitt's W-L predictions (w/approx predicted scoring margin) based on the Sagarin "Recent" ACC Ratings:

@ Louisville-- Win (+10.5)
Florida State-- Win (+10)
Wake Forest-- Win (+3.5)
Miami-- Win (+2.5)
@UNC-- Loss (-6)
Louisville-- Win (+13)
@Florida State-- Win (+5)
Boston College-- Win (+13.5)
@ Virginia Tech-- Loss (-0.5) -- Near tossup.
Georgia Tech-- Win (+11)
Syracuse-- Win (+5)
@Notre Dame-- Win (+5)
@Miami-- Loss (-3)

Can/will Pitt really go 10-3 the rest of the way in the ACC to enter the ACC tourney at (7-4 OOC + 15-5 ACC) = 22-9 Overall?

Continue to look great and Brock looks so poised. The Steelers need a real offensive coach and if Kenny plays a part in Canada staying here that’s on him

Ok a win is a win, so
I'm happy with that. I
didn't like a lot of the
calls by the refs, BUT
GT was 0-3 on FT's. A
home team with those
stats?.....unheard of. We
also took care of the
ball with only 2TO's, also
unheard of LOL

Make no mistake though,
GTis not a good team. How
did they ever beat Miami
and Georgia? We basically
won the game with six
players (Santos and Diaz
didn't score and played
very little). As I saw it, we
by far had more talent
and other than some 3 pt
shooting GT had very
little talent for an ACC
team.

They have no conference wins so far this basketball season. Their football team has sucked for 4 years. They still have that highly ranked rifle team. Seriously, after they pummeled Pitt in November in basketball you no one would have predicted the fortunes of the panthers to date and the ugly play of the hillbillies.

LOL. LOL. LOL!! RJCMAN38 is not having a real good week. First being in the top 10 ranked athletic department for the Director's Cup and now Capel "making half time adjustments" and a big road win!!!

I feel like lighting a big cigar......I am just smiling knowing he is miserable.

Hey would someone do me a favor and let Capel know Santos can’t shoot, plays shottie D and doesn’t rebound much. He may want to get him off the 3pt line and start him out down low or something. I mean with a guy shooting 25% from the field, 12% from 3 and 43% from the line I’m not sure Capel realizes the kid can’t shoot as well as a high school kid so maybe should play closer to the bucket. Of course that would take offensive sets that play to his strengths, if he has any, so that concept might be beyond Capel‘s pay grade. Or just tell the kid not to shoot unless he is driving to the hoop but maybe don’t do that either. Explain to the kid that he’s in to eat minutes while the kids that can get the ball in the hoop rest.

TIA

But Cummings was big when it was needed the most.

Since there is ongoing discussion about retiring numbers, jerseys I think the best route would be a ring of honor. That way put a stop of retiring jerseys and recognizing the great achievements, accomplishments on plaques and banners etc. JMO...H2P!!!

Really nice overall game. Watched him dominate Northwestern on all levels. He's a much better shooter then I expected. Definitely see NBA in his future.

Siap. Is he hurt?

No shame in losing to Clemson - who just beat Duke.

Let's go boys - no let up in the next 3 games!

At 2-16?I refuse to believe that game day atmosphere doesnt suck

He does so much for this team. Defense. Rebounds. Always in the right place.

Kudos to Cummings. Terrible first half. Bounce back big in the second half.

Is Hinson out of shape? We could use a little more from him on the boards.

Nice win on the road. We need the same effort against Louisville.

What a joke. They released the real champ, Ngannou, over failed contract talks. Dana White bad months him and then sings Jon Jones, to fight for the heavyweight title. Jones' last fight was almost three years ago, as a light heavyweight, and he shouldn't have received the decision. That was a fixed outcome. But this takes the cake.

A colleague is taking his daughter on a campus visit to Pitt in March. He’s asking for recommendations for hotel, dinner, activities etc. They want to stay on campus to the extent possible, and will be visiting on a weekday.

Anyone go through this process recently and have a few options I can pass along? I haven’t been in Pittsburgh regularly in 15 years let alone Oakland. And every time I’m back I recognize less and less. Would greatly appreciate any tips.

The Athletic still has Pitt in the tournament - as a an 11 seed. They also are not one of the teams they have playing in Dayton (WVU ans Miss St are the two 11 seeds that they have in Dayton).

Tylar Wiltz went from Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, to Pitt - with stops at Southern Arkansas, Independence Community College and Missouri State along the way. Today, he's joining us on the Morning Pitt to talk about his journey, how he got to Pitt and what his year as a Panther was like.

Tylar really is one of the most positive people I've encountered on this job. I think that comes through in the interview and I hope you enjoy it.
