Dixon Still Passing Tests
There was not much we didn't know about Pitt's Jamie Dixon when this season began. We knew he'd never coached a team to the Final Four. But we also knew he never missed an NCAA Tournament. Nor has he ever lost to a Top 10 team at home.

We knew he'd won Big East regular season and postseason titles, taken teams to No. 1 national rankings and twice earned a top seed in the NCAA Tournament.

Finally, the 2011-12 Panthers can add to a positive streak.

Season of the Witch
When you think of regular season success in college basketball, only a select few teams come to mind. Kansas, Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina, Syracuse, Gonzaga.

Pitt is certainly another team you add to that list. Over the last 10 years—prior to the 2011-12 season—Pitt had gone 262-63, which stands as the nation’s fifth-best record in that span.

Louisville sends Pitt to eighth straight loss
Pitt's defense continued to fail them, as Louisville shot 56 percent from the floor and beat the reeling Panthers 73-62, Pitt's eighth straight loss in what is quickly becoming a lost season.

Panthers can't keep up with top-ranked Syracuse
Pitt shot just 39 percent from the floor and 52 percent from the free-throw line, leaving too many points on the floor against the nation's top-ranked team and fell to No. 1 Syracuse 71-63 at the Carrier Dome on Monday night, the seventh-consecutive loss for the Panthers.

The Pittsburgh Panthers just can’t catch a break.

When Rooney Speaks...
Steelers president Art Rooney II doesn’t open his mouth often, unless he has a good reason. That’s rare for an attorney, but appropriate for an executive of an NFL team that has been a model of stability and success for most of the past four decades.
