And that is because many, including JD, insist on telling you that losses are wins, poor play is good play and lousy pre season games are genuine building blocks to success.
But they aren't and Pitt will feel it in a huge drop in ticket sales.
And we win 1 surprising game like against Duke and everyone starts forgetting what has really happened to this program over the past 5 years.
That's why the crowds are much smaller, sellouts are rare and the team has gotten worse and worse.
Yes Robinson stunk tonight but this loss again is all on Dixon.

I expected a loss even with the 12 point lead. I was waiting for them to blow it and they did it in the traditional squeezed pucker hole tight style that Pitt is famous for in this tournament. It is what it is. Another year older, another year gone.
Players are often a reflection of their coaches. Jamie appears to have gotten more stressed over the years, not less like what you should expect from a veteran coach.
It's funny. I try not to be too negative. But on my ride home from the brewpub my thought was mercifully, this one is in the books.
What pissed me off the most about this team is the old "million dollar body, ten cent head" adage.
This team had talent. But the fact that they lacked heart, hustle, toughness, and basketball IQ drove me crazy. I can live with a team losing based on sheer talent alone. But when several outcomes this year were a result of intangibles that can be controlled, it infuriates me. As a result, I can say that I was disappointed in the coaching job of Dixon.
Understandable.
Still, I'd always rather be in the tournament than not. Regardless.
Yes worse than last year. 43 pts. But again everyone complained about pitt not being able to put 2 halves together-well they put two shit halves together.
They haven't been open long but it seems they always have something new/different. I don't think they even have any staple beers. I guess in some ways this could be bad if you go and don't hit on something. But I've been there a cpl times and I like it. It's pretty clear to me the brewers know what they're doing. Doesn't seem like a place that just opened because craft beer is hot.
All of the kids on this year's Pitt team weren't even teenagers the last time we had an exciting team that was winning 20+ games a year, sometimes 25+ games. That legacy is a distant memory now, thanks to the last 2 coaching disasters.
