The Pitt News offers its preview of tomorrow’s game ‘twixt Pitt and Seton Hall.

On the Seton Hall side of things, the article highlights the absence of Andre Barrett from the Pirates and the subsequent need for John Allen and Kelly Whitney to step up and take the reins.

With regards to the Panthers, Jamie Dixon admits that there’s some work that needs to be done. Specifically, that ” ‘We need to play team defense against them; it can’t come down to one guy,’ ” Dixon said of Allen and Whitney. “[Seton Hall] runs Allen and Whitney off screens, making it difficult to defend. We also need to play better transition defense.”

It’s also Jamie Dixon’s 50th game as Pitt’s head coach.

Beyond that, I’ve not seen much about this game. Then again, given that both western Pennsylvania and northern Jersey are fixating on the Jets/Steelers playoff game, this is hardly surprising.
