Everywhere I went after work today I heard about Pitt's lose to UConn in the Big East Tournament. I received multiple phone calls from friends about Pitt losing in the Big East Tournament. Numerous Pitt fans are saying this is going to hurt Pitt. I say No Way. I am looking at the flip side of this lose. Now the Pitt Panthers, after a long season, can rest their legs and get ready for the NCAA Tournament. If a team makes it to final game of the Big East, then you are playing a minimum of 3 intense basketball games. My philosophy is just get into the field of 68. Then win 4 games, and you are in the Final Four. Easier said than done. Pitt has a shot at a number 1 seed for the mere reason they were the winners of the Big East regular season. The Big East is one of the toughest leagues, if not the toughest, in NCAA Division 1 basketball. Teams will score points once you get to the field of 68. What winning teams need to do in play really solid defense and rebound the basketball. Pitt does that. The Pitt team runs the floor well, they distribute the ball well, and the Pitt team boxes out well and crashes the offensive glass. It will be interesting to see what happens in the NCAA Tournament, but Pitt has a shot of going a long way. A dangerous team coming down the stretch is the North Carolina Tar Heels. Keep an eye on the Roy Williams' Heels to make noise in the field of 68.
