Pitt vs. UL: Worst loss since 1906

[cyclones500]

I mentioned the Louisville-Pittsburgh blowout in the ISU-KSU game thread, as an aside.

I didn't realize how historically bad the loss is.

Pittsburgh's most lopsided loss in 111 years

It would appear Jamie Dixon left town at the right time.

To lose that way AT HOME, no less. Wow.

It'll be interesting to see how some of those old Big East bruising teams continue to do in the ACC. I think it's gonna be rough for Pitt, Syracuse, BC.
Louisville, ND should be fine in the future.

Does Pitt have a board? Is it still smoldering this morning?

I don't really care about Pitt, but seeing Syracuse completely blow is fantastic.

Great line from that article

In the second half, Panthers coach Kevin Stallings got lucky: He was ejected and therefore not mandated to watch any more of the game.

I found one on Rivals. The board is pretty Melty today.

That is hard to do on your home floor.

Yeah that's what when you break the NCAA rules

I was checking the KU WVU score at the game last night and saw it was 61-24 or something like that, I had to click on it to make sure because sometimes the ESPN mobile site doesn't add in the points for the 2nd half for some reason. Was shocked to see that was actually the score.

I saw the score was like 95-38 as it scrolled on the bottom of the screen last night. I just assumed it was a women's game.

This is why the committee needs to factor in margin of defeat at least a little. We may have 6 losses but have not been blow out once.

I might be wrong, but I thought I heard the committee will use kenpom as one of the criteria, and kenpom takes into account margin of victory/defeat

When I saw that score last night, my first thought was, "Did Pitt not know this was a varsity game?"

Pitt's coach K. Stallings ran a classy program at Vandy but a few years back he had 3 guys get drafted -- Ezeli-Jenkins-Taylor and last year he had two more drafted -- D. Jones & Baldwin -- plus had a likely NBAer in junior F. Kornet. Both of those teams barely ended up in the top half of the SEC. I don't think he'll reach Dixon's level of sustained success at Pitt and it's too bad, because he's a good guy but that's a lot of talent to be so crappy.

Scott Drew's brother is following in Stallings' tradition and, other than the Florida game, Vandy has been poor in spite of some good players like Kornet, Fisher-Davis and a shooter out of Wisconsin - have we ever had one of those - named LaChance. Just a little segue to Saturday's game ...
