		<title>Running Down the Oakland Win</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Enjoy the moment, before moving on.
Most impressive, perhaps, was his team&#8217;s balance. Pittsburgh had six  players score in double digits. The Panthers didn&#8217;t create or maintain  their large lead through explosive flurries or individual brilliance.  Instead, Pittsburgh slowly, methodically, and completely ground the  Golden Grizzlies down.
&#8220;I liked the balanced scoring,&#8221; Jamie [...]]]></description>

		<title>Day 2 On the Bracket</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Take it away, Luke:
The first round is completed, and the lone survivor of yesterday&#8217;s top 3 is leader George Lesko, who has BYU over Murray State to go to the final four.
Today&#8217;s second place trailing by 5 with Ohio State as a national champion is Samuel Friedman. Other distinguishable marks in his bracket include a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Need Karma, Beat Sampson Curse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Devin Ebanks. Scottie effin&#8217; Reynolds. Tom Crean at Indiana. They all are connected by one evil thread.
Kelvin Sampson. The disgraced coach of Indiana and before that, Oklahoma has been an indirect but substantial thorn in the side of Pitt for several years. It looks to be that way until Ebanks goes pro.
He bails on Oklahoma [...]]]></description>

		<title>NCAA 1st: Oakland-Pitt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A feature on Gibbs in USA Today on how he has been one of the go-to guys for Pitt. For some reason it seems a surprise to reporters that Pitt wants to make a deep run. What? You think they were going to play a &#8220;happy to be here&#8221; card?
The game is scheduled for roughly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Can&#8217;t Look Past Anyone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You don&#8217;t think Coach Dixon and the rest of the staff wasn&#8217;t banging that point home all day yesterday? You don&#8217;t think that was on the recorded message each kid got on their wake-up all in their hotel room?
Safe to say that while Georgetown ostensibly took some pressure off Pitt as the potentially biggest disappointment [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bracket Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Courtesy of Luke, here&#8217;s how the Pitt Blather Bracket is looking:
After a day one filled with upsets(putting me in 131st), we now advance to day 2 of the tournament.
Leading us into day 2 is George Lesko, with an interesting bracket. Mr. Lesko has Xavier over PITT(BOO!!!!!!), and BYU over Murray State in the Elite 8, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tournament Time to Go Local</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a standard thing. The NCAA Tournament gets everyone&#8217;s attention. So every local paper suddenly remembers that a local product is playing somewhere and if lucky for an NCAA Tournament team.
In Indiana, the local paper tracks down Gary McGhee.
&#8220;The whole Big East has tough big men,&#8221; said McGhee. &#8220;I played  against Pittman and Monroe. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Opening Spring Practice &#8216;10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two days before, it was Pitt&#8217;s pro-day. Not looking for a lot of draft picks from Pitt outside of tight end.
Dickerson, an All-Big East selection last season, posted a 4.4-second  clocking in the 40-yard dash and ran near-flawless routes Tuesday  during pro timing day at Pitt to enhance his NFL Draft stock.
Dickerson, who [...]]]></description>

		<title>Feeling Invisible</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s probably a good thing, but Pitt is getting no buzz in the West region. What little mention there is, suggests Pitt will have a hard time making it to the Sweet 16 &#8212; let alone any further.
I get that. Syracuse and K-State are the top two teams in the region. Syracuse, especially, tends to [...]]]></description>
