Can/will likely make the NIT won't they?

[canaan]

They might make the Pringles(tm) Backwash Bowl presented by H&R Block and Great Value Semi-Real Haddock Fillets and Toilet Scrubbers

[FreeCandy44]

Me thinks the Nit might be out of reach, I can see them in that pay to play tourney.

[columbia]

I had some fried cod for lunch, so that sort of works for me.

[count2infinity]

was it a squished fish patty on a bun?

[columbia]

See the cooks thread.

[KennyTheKangaroo]

This was a pretty sad season.

Orlando Antigua's ears

[count2infinity]

Somewhere Pittsnoggle is laughing about the Pitt loss today... I just know it.

[slappybrown]

I think Antigua is a coach for a D-1 program these days

[canaan]

Wasn't he a globetrotter for a while?

[KennyTheKangaroo]

I think Antigua is a coach for a D-1 program these days

Not sure if serious, but he is at Kentucky.

[Dickie Dunn]

Antigua is the head coach at USF.

[ulf]

I was thinking the gory days were like three weeks ago when they spanked unc

[ulf]

Haha gory. Maybe for unc amirite

[Rocco]

Do losses in the NIT against lower seeded teams count against Dixon's postseason numbers?

[Letang Is The Truth]

Wasn't he a globetrotter for a while?

yes

[Dickie Dunn]

Uchebo and Tyrone Haughton (who somehow didn't get into a single game this year) are leaving the program.

[skullman80]

I haven't looked, do they have anyone one note coming in as a freshman next year?

[Dickie Dunn]

Damon Wilson, 4 star SG from Centereach, NY. 6'4", 180lbs. Good ball handler, athletic, many think his ball skills are good enough that he could play PG as well. Not a great shooter and not a threat from 3 point range.

Rozelle Nix, 3 star JUCO C from Pensacola, FL. 6'11", 345lbs. Strong, physical, aggressive around the rim, and has improved his post skills.

With Randall graduating and Uchebo and Haughton leaving the program, Pitt's depth at center is Nix and Michael Young playing out of position for the 3rd year, so I'd expect to see Nix getting a decent amount of minutes, but Dixon never gives much playing time to JUCOs so who knows. Wilson should get solid minutes and be viewed as legitimate competition for Robinson and Newkirk at PG, but once again its Dixon so who knows what will happen. If I was in charge the starting lineup for next season would be:

PG: Robison
SG: Johnson
SF: Artis
PF: Young
C: Nix
