Basketball Coaching Carousel

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Every year Jamie Dixon's name is floated around as the lead candidate for just about every opening in college basketball. So far no one has been lucky enough to lure him away from Pitt, and it seems unlikely that it will happen this year either. The jobs that ...

End of Hoops Season Thoughts

Monday, March 24th, 2008

This is the worst kind of post to have to write. 64 of 65 teams end their season with their bloggers writing these kind of posts, so I know I am not alone. But it sucks to have to say goodbye to a season. There have been a lot ...

Bad trip to Denver

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

I can't think of a worse way for Pitt to have ended their season this year. They had a mediocre end of the regular season, causing us to feel like this team would probably win 1 game in the NCAA tournament. Then they tore through the Big East ...

Great Pitt Game

Friday, March 21st, 2008

...until late tomorrow night, as the Prowler and his son, the 16 month old Mini-Prowler, and his brother, DeadbeatlivinginProwler'sbasement-Prowler are leaving bright and early and heading to Denver to watch Pitt bring the pain to ORU. I won't be home to update the game until probably between 10-midnight. Here's to ...

Picking Tourney Winners

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

I have never been particularly good at picking the NCAA tournament winners, primarily because I have strong feelings of like or dislike towards many teams. These feelings keep me from being as objective as I would like to be. It doesn't stop me from making picks, but I ...

Pitt a 4 Seed and Random Thoughts to Consider

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

Pitt received a 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament and I have to admit to being torn. Yesterday I didn't think a 4 seed was possible. Today Joe Lunardi mentioned 3 seed, which I really think is too high for a 9 loss team. I was ready ...
