Jamie Dixon vs Syracuse
- Thread starter maxxwell
- Start date
Jamie is a really bad tournament coach.
3-7 in conference tournament games since winning the BE. 2 of those wins were over 12 seeds.
3-4 in NCAAT games since the Elite 8. Wins were over a 16, 14, and 8.
I was thinking about this the other day. It is hard to beat a team, especially an evenly matched team 3 times. Oh sure, for whatever reason, we have their number. But I think Jamie's record is 13-4 against Boeheim?? Bit 2 of those 4 losses have been in a conference tourney format. So that is not encouraging.
I really think we lose tomorrow. We put ourselves in this situation. Will be interesting to see how they react. I am expecting the same, tight, shitstorm that a Dixon coached Pitt team has shown lately in in the late part of the seasons.

Pretty unfair to only count games after he'd played in the title round in 2004, 2006, 2007, and 2008, isn't it? They were named the MSG team of the decade.
That's like saying Pittsburgh is a really cold city as measured November-February.
I also agree with the other comment that the double-bye has led to far fewer wins that Pitt would get in some other conferences. I still think it's a terrible idea that your #1 regular season team is first matched against a team that likely went 9-9 and just beat another pretty good team. Look at the games today, for example. FSU was a huge favorite over BC and they are both losing teams.
Right, although proclamations are still made here that he's a "great coach"
Add to that, Boeheim is 10-2 in game 3 against teams in the same season
Nobody calls him a great coach. Still waiting for your list of transfers from Pitt who've thrived elsewhere.
Richie McConagle. Perpetually drunk, less than 2.0 GPA in Biochemistry transferred to Boyce University (otherwise known as CCAC Boyce or Plum HS Annex) and got his act together, transferred then to Towson State and discovered the Rainbow marshmellow that completed the Lucky Charms Marshmellow set and also was hailed by Gay Rights advocates as a breakthrough in the breakfast cereal industry.
