Okay, for those who like to predict the next comment from national naysayers about Pitt after the game of dominance over Florida State, it will most likely be something like, “yeah, but they haven’t really gone on the road yet. That Western Michigan neutral court game doesn’t really count.” The other option is to reverse field and say that FSU wasn’t really that good. Who knows, maybe there’s something to the latter.

Wow, an 88-66 win and the score wasn’t even that close. Pitt got the FSU All-American forward candidate Al Thornton in early foul trouble and blew the rest of the Seminoles out of the water. This despite little from Gray and Kendall. Giving pause, at least, to those who presume that a team that doesn’t have that one big player is not going to go far.

Graves and Ramon led the way from the outside, but Mike Cook again threw in 15. He’s already a reliable steady force. The depth on the team is exciting. Gilbert Brown played, so I’m reasonably sure that means his redshirt is done. He must have made a good recovery and showed the coaches something in practice. Cool. More depth and potential headaches, but not a bad kind to have.

BC went down to the Providence Friars. Nice to see another slow start for the Eagles, but I really am not wild about seeing BE teams play BC. Especially in B-ball where the Eagles are desperate to find games that they don’t have to travel far or pay a fortune to host.

Butler wants to show they aren’t one year wonders and took another step to that by knocking off Gonzaga. Still bitter about last year, but it isn’t just Pitt.

Wisconsin lost as well. Lots of early stumbles for top-ten teams.
