I don’t believe in destiny, fate and all that crap. By extension, I don’t by into omens and portents. If I did, I would have felt really good about what Pitt could do with UCLA under Ben Howland winning the PAC-10 and then Xavier under Sean Miller winning the A-10 before the Pitt-Syracuse BET Championship.

Think I’m feeling kind to the refs of this game?

Pathetic.

Not that Pitt didn’t do plenty to blow some opportunities on their own, but I was starting to think Pitt was playing Duke the way they were calling the game at times.

Still, Pitt blew chances late in the game, and could never quite get control.

This was not the same Syracuse team Pitt beat-up previously. The frontcourt was so much better and actually caring about the game.

Gray is in a tremendous funk or he is just worn down from the season. Either way, he needs to start getting it back together if Pitt is going to do something in the NCAA.
