- "An at-large selection, the University of Pittsburgh men’s basketball team will enter the 2013 NCAA Championship as a No. 8 seed in the West Region. The Panthers (24-8, 12-6 Big East) will play No. 9 seed Wichita State (26-8, 12-6 Missouri Valley Conference) in a Second Round matchup on Thursday, March 21, at the EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake City."

No big-time scorer? No problem for the Pitt Panthers.
Tray Woodall became the first and only player to reach double figures for Pitt with just :39 left in a convincing 65-55 home upset of No. 6 Syracuse, and that was OK. Pitt played a team game against the star-laden Orange, getting 31 points from a very active bench. In comparison, ‘Cuse got just three from non-starters, of which they had perhaps more than they would have liked.

“Teel notes that Greensboro, NC has a lock on the tourney for the next three years. The Greensboro Coliseum is a bit of an odd duck. It’s technically the home arena for the UNCG Spartans, a team that never comes close to filling the venue’s 22,000-plus seats. It’s more frequently used for concerts, NCAA tournament games, and, for some ungodly reason, a stage production of Tyler Perry’s Madea Gets a Job.”

Butler makes the Final Four… of the CBI. They’ll face Pitt out of the Big East, and it’s a Pac-12 rematch on the other side of the bracket, with Washington State and Oregon State playing for a Finals berth.

NBA Draft - Is North Carolina Tar Heels Harrison Barnes one-dimensional or just a team player? - ESPN
Wonder if this Pitt commit from NZ is inching toward skipping school as the Panthers tumble?
“New Zealand big man Steven Adams (Rank: 21) is finally heading to the USA. Adams left New Zealand at the start of the year to attend Notre Dame Prep in Baltimore.
Adams has committed to play at Pittsburgh next year, but several sources indicate that he might consider declaring for the draft if he’s projected as a lottery pick. Adams stormed onto the scene at the adidas Nations camp this past summer. He physically destroyed the competition with his defense, length, strength and athleticism. A few seasoned observers said that he reminded them of Greg Oden back during his high school days.
Adams hasn’t played against great competition in New Zealand, and that might continue for the rest of the year. But NBA scouts will finally get a long look at him. If they like what they see, he has the potential to be a lottery pick.”
