Message: [QUOTE="gsmooth, post: 3884550, member: 9355"] Yeah that Pittsburgh team, hell program, is a mess. You can see why Jamie Dixon jumped ship after a few years in the ACC? He knew his best chances to make a Final Four and/or win it all were in 2002-2006, 2009 (lost on Scottie Reynolds's end to end layup at buzzer in Elite 8), and 2011 (last two losses in that season were to two teams in championship, UConn and Butler). Although they had talent from some midwest states they were over reliant on that NYC pipeline. Once they lost Barry Rohrssen, the assistant coach with the connection to NYC talent, and Big East membership, their talent dried up and their pipeline to NYC talent was broken. [/QUOTE]
