While I’m liveblogging the Sun Bowl, I have the DVR recording the start of Pitt’s Big East Conference. I’ll be watching the basketball game after Pitt-Oregon State. The stories of the day are rather stock as you would expect with the distraction of the Sun Bowl. There’s the opening of conference play for Pitt — along with sidebar story with the Big East Associate Commissioner spinning that they couldn’t do any adjustments to the time of the Pitt-Rutgers game. Right. No changes are possible unless ESPN says so. Then, of course, there is the whole payback/not taking anything lightly storyline.
Feel free to talk about the basketball game here.
Pitt not even playing like a top 20 team!

2-3 zone by Dixon is an admission we are in trouble
The good news is that Pitt won a close game with Blair in foul trouble; the bad news is that once again Blair got in foul trouble (on the road.)
But we will get the test on Sat. GTown away. We will see how good we are then for sure.
This will no doubt contribute greatly to at least a couple of Pitt losses this year
Dixon employing the zone was the gamebreaker. And, with our bench strength, it will indeed be possible to win without Blair.
This will be the last time you will see Rosario in a one-on-one matchup.
Hail to Pitt (hoops), where it’s at and where it will be. Hell, we can get 10 players who can play the basketball game, why aren’t we able to find 11 guys for a half decent offensive fb team?
P.S. The RU crowd was unusually civil given a larger than average Pitt contingent in the stands.
