Losing Cliff cost us the NCAA Tournament

Easily a tournament team with Cliff. Doubters point to last year's limited offensive production when he was double teamed and forced the ball inside with his back to the basket. This year with all of the double teams on Ace & Dylan, Cliff would have been roaming free w Quick Dunk City. also we would have more garbage bucket putbacks. & that's just on offense.. Defense we would have a rim protecter, allowing a lot less baskets inside.

OT: Penn State maybe not so BIG in the future.

Not to defend the Pitt guy but I’m a jersey guy that went to Rutgers and has lived it Pittsburgh for 8 years so I have some perspective.

Pitt is a very well off school. Its endowment is gigantic when compared to Rutgers with big donors and there is construction all over the place all the time and some big 20 year plan as well. It also practically shares a campus with Carnegie Mellon since Pitt basically birthed that school. That’s also a super healthy global school.

It actually feels very Rutgers there bc it’s an urban campus like college avenue is. What makes Pitt unique is that it’s kinda of the only game in town out here. Pittsburgh is like the Galápagos Islands where there are no good options of anything in a 60 mile radius of the place.

Thank you for comments based upon your experiences with Pitt, UPMC and Carnegie Mellon.

Most people are not aware of the scope and depth of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) and their relationship with the University of Pittsburgh from a coordinated research perspective.

UPMC is a $23 Billion World Renowned Health Care provider and Insurer based in Pittsburgh.

UPMC operates 40 academic, community and specialty hospitals, 800 doctor offices and outpatient sites and employs 4900 physicians.

UPMC Global Programs span four continents with focused efforts in China, Italy, Ireland and Kazakhstan.

UPMC is closely affliliated with the University of Pittsburgh which is ranked in the Top 10 recipients of the National Institute of Health (NIH) Research Funding since 1998.

UPMC is currently building a new 17 story $1.5 billion speciality hospital on campus which should be completed in 2027.

Even though you are from NJ we would like to claim you as a Yinzer (LOL).

HAIL TO PITT!!!!

Refs

Correct, it does. That's why the woe is me, they are only out to get my team stuff is so tiresome, and lazy.
Read a game thread. Half the posts are complaining about refs. It's what fans do, fine, but it's irrelevant for the most part. VERY FEW game results are altered because of 40 minutes of refereeing.
Also, whining about refs isn't a discussion, it's an attempt to place blame anywhere but within.

Actually you're wrong. I ran the numbers.
It's been 2,835 straight Rutgers losses that coincided with "bias refs".
Clearly it's only a Rutgers thing.


Not saying bad calls weren't made/missed but literally every fanbase blames every loss on the refs.
Someone name one loss this year that didn't have "poor refs"?
Sports fans are "boy who cried wolf" at this point.

Do I really need to explain why a missed travel 9 minutes into the first half is different from a missed travel with 5 seconds left in a one point game?

One could say that we aren't up 1 without that missed Davis travel.
Or the backcourt violation non-call (don't remember if we scored that possession).

We are actually down 1 potentially.
In which case then entire end of the game plays out differently.
