Panthers, Blair Keep Rolling
The Pitt Panthers and their star big man continued their spring rampage through the Big East last night. DeJuan Blair once again proved to be the unstoppable force as the Panthers grabbed win #25 in a route of the mediocre Midwesterners, DePaul. Blair tore it up with a gaudy 20/18 night as Pitt most likely placed themselves back at the #1 spot in the weekly polls. With four remaining games and then the Big East Tourney, the Oakland squad has all but assured themselves a #1 or #2 seed in the NCAA's. Conventional wisdom says four total losses or less and a berth in the Big East finals (or better) and the Panthers will have a #1 seed in the bank. As for Blair, the Big East Player of the Year Award seems to be looming larger and larger as the monster sophomore continues to drop double/doubles while making key defensive plays when his team needs them.

Saw Bobby Knight (best college B-ball coach of all-time) and Digger Phellps last night say that Pitt is their choice for WINNING IT ALL!!!!!!
I'm hesitant given the program's history...so let's hope Knight and Digger know what they're talking about. Knight elaborated that the Panthers are the most mentally tough team that he has seen in a long, long time.
