I need to crash. I’m feeling very drained, even though all I did was blog, drink a couple beers and do my best not to wake the kids while watching. It’s a good drained feelings. Not feeling particularly coherent.
Shameless commerce divisions already have the Big East Tournament Championship T-shirts for sale and hats.
I had to get a quickie post out on FanHouse, and the great fun was looking at all the Getty Images of pictures of the Pitt players celebrating. Seeing the players and Coach Dixon cutting down the net. Just have to smile.
It is just a great feeling right now. One that can actually be enjoyed for a day or two. The season isn’t over, but it’s been a wild and twisted one so far.
Looking forward to the selection show.
And I am also absolutely as happy as can be tonight!
Pitt made us all proud! Let’s enjoy it for a night, and then get ready for some more ass kickings in the dance, courtesy of your University of Pittsburgh Panthers!!!!!!!!!!!!
If that happens that is an incredible rise in over 4 games.
Here’s hoping the comittee for once gives Pitt more props than they have in the past

I’d like to welcome everyone to “Screw Pitt Sunday,” or selection sunday for the rest of basketball fans out there.
Considering i have no faith in getting a 3, i’m still hoping we get a six. Besides the big east teams, there are only 6 teams out there i don’t want to play – if we could avoid the 1 seeds til the elite eight.
Oh, and i’m taking bets, 2:1 odds that we end up in UCLAs bracket, like we do EVERY YEAR. “But its not intentional.” ::wink::
I really think this team has it in them to get further than the sweet 16. They showed how pissed off they were in the BE tourney – they were not going to be denied. I think they feel the same way about the NCAAs – they’re tired of hearing “yeah, but when you gonna get past the sweet 16?” We finally have a “go to guy” during the game in Young, and one that will hit shots at the end in Fields. They finally bought into every possession matters, on offense and defense. A complete 180 from how they had been playing just a few games ago.
Finally, does anyone else realize Levance Fields assist to turnover ratio was 5.5 TO 1 in the tourney? That’s ABSURD. His WORST game was 4:1. I wish that kid could play here forever. Imagine how many wins we’d have if he’d have played the entire year…
I’m not holding my breath though.
My biggest fear is that they will face George Mason in the first round. Living in Northern Virginia, I’ve become a Mason fan the past six years and attended a few dozen games during that time. Mason plays great D and has quick guards who can all penetrate and hit threes. Of course, I don’t think Mason has anyone who can handle Sam Young.
I hope like hell we don’t get a 4 or 5. Higher is NOT always better – those guys have to play a one to GET TO the elite 8, a 6 or 7 doesn’t have to play a one UNTIL the elite eight.
