    Wake Forest ACC Tournament Game & Other Dribbles ...

    DT, From out west…I think my TV was off, as I thought the first half was a rugby game with no fouls, while the new second half refs (didn’t hear on my TV, who the new refs were) called almost every touch. Just a great W! Hail to PITT! -al-

    JaLed

    Blake has hit big threes, but JaLand makes this team go…hence, he’s JaLed! Hail to PITT! -Al-

    Notre Dame Game & Other Dribbles ...

    DT, Friends all around, even from us West Coasters. I was there during the fantastic 73-74 season…Mooney (aka Billy Knight ) and company were stellar—the Fitz was rocking, and you went to the games that season knowing you were seeing something special …From Fran Webster’s amoeba defense...

    Thank you, Will!

    Impressive comeback Win and though there were many players worthy of game balls, I thought Will was a key difference! Not a big stat night for Will…his fake handoff and dunk was an exquisite play… And more importantly he played physical D on Reid…frustrating Reid and keeping him away from...

    Duke Game @ Cameron Indoor & Other Dribbles ...

    I enjoyed watching this game…early on, driving to the hoop (and not settling for jump shots), attacking the boards and keeping Flip off balance were all good adjustments to our game. It had to surprise Duke how we came out. We took the game to them, and never backed down. And like DT, I also...

    Duke Game & Other Dribbles ...

    Before the game, was texting with another PITT alum…he referenced our ability to hit threes to keep us in the game, while I said we had to neutralize their interior play…we did neither. IS duke that superb or are we that weak…or is it a combination of the two? hail to PITT! -al-

    Clemson Game & Other Dribbles ...

    DT, Blake was more than equal to Girard…our bigs allowed Clemson to offensively own the paint, and offered little resistance. i can accept Bub getting good looks, and shooting. While he’s being defended physically and pushed, he keeps his wits and strives to make us efficient. I didn’t think...

    Jacksonville Game & Other Dribbles ...

    DT, Great observations as always! It appears this team can roll, as everybody knows their role! And thanks for not mentioning Barry Goheen again, as I was at the NCAA tournament game in Lincoln, Nebraska that fateful day. To this day, it still sticks with me, as that team had championship...

    “We had ‘em all the way!” …thanks, Gunner!

    Great game to watch…we played hard, found a QB, and D (though giving up yards) came through when needed. Pluses: V throws a nice ball….DBs played well (some of the flags against them were debatable )…MJ looked like a rocket when he took off (the overhead video shows him distancing himself from...

    Dior… HE GONE

    DT…that may be the case, but due to the public attention it has received she owns it …and either by her silence (she accepts it) or lack of her review, it’s in her lap…the fact he was allowed to practice and go to Spain as a team member, and it took nine months to review the case, makes her and...

    Are the eggheads intent

    This is a travesty on so many levels. First, Dior was wrong in his actions last year. Second, nine months to make a decision is horrible. Either you let him back on team (and red shirting him, letting him travel to Spain, on the team website roster) or you tell him until this is resolved...

    Dior… HE GONE

    This is all speculation. We don’t know what happened or the whys behind the decision. Let’s just get behind those who wear the uniforms. Hail to PITT, -Al-

    Mississippi State NCAA Tournament Game & Other Dribbles ...

    When we were up by six and had the ball with three minutes left, I thought one more bucket would seal the victory..just didn’t think it would be a the nine second left. What a game…spending time in Kauai and folks must have thought another volcano went off when I celebrated JB’s shot and the W...

    I did not see the game (medical visit with my wife)

    Best wishes to all our wives and family members enduring difficult health issues. Love to all Panther fans! Hail to PITT! -al-

    Duke Game in the ACC Tournament & Other Dribbles ...

    DT…good write-up as usual. Today we ran into a better team, with serious bigs who wanted to and did control the game. Duke has more talent, and fresh legs…I believe they’ll win the ACC tourney crown. This has been a good season, and I would envision we’ll only get better, both in the portal...

    Ga Tech ACC Tournament Game & Other Dribbles ...

    Thompson went high and fell over his teammate, hitting his head…it was fairly early in the game. In the final, they beat UCLA in OT…I think UCLA opened up a 8 or 10 point in OT, and couldn’t then stop NC State…Walton’s last collegiate game. Hail to PITT! -al-

    Ga Tech ACC Tournament Game & Other Dribbles ...

    In 1974, we had a close win against Furman as Billy Knight willed us into the Elite Eight…close game but no three point line then…same day UCLA needed 3 OTs to beat Dayton… Our next game we dropped to NC State (no answer for Tom Burleson and his 7’4” height)…but a great season where we had a 22...

    Boston College Game & Other Dribbles ...

    DT, As always, good recap. Agree on Fede, other than Post making the first three, he was neutralized. Fede hustles every play, and is a true team player. Even when shown on the bench, he’s in the game! On TV, the Zoo sounded engaged and the announcers did mention their enthusiasm. As...

    Moe-observations on Tobacco Road

    Moe and DT…hope it was a Deschutes ((emphasis on the middle s) IPA…good craft beer from Bend (great little city or big town) and the Deschutes River! any brew is always so much better after a PITT W! Hail to PITT! -al-
