Primary stories on Pitt basketball focus on “character” and “resilience” of the team with Durand Johnson gone for the year.
They are nice stories. Positive stories. And nothing I really disagree with them.
At the same time, this is nothing new with Pitt under Coach Jamie Dixon.
We’ve seen the team handle the loss of Mike Cook and Levance Fields in one season. They weathered early issues when Gil Brown had to sit or Jermaine Dixon.
