PrintPittsburgh Panthers at Seton Hall Pirates, Feb 12, 2012 12:00 PM EST
I hate the term 'must win', but this is about a close to a must win situation as possible. Pitt put themselves in that position with a loss against South Florida last week. I think Pitt can still safely get into the tournament even if they lose another regular season game as long they win a game in the Big East Tournament. But with road trips still against Louisville and UConn, the Panthers will have their hands full trying to even one of those.
Seton Hall isn't a gimme, but they are beatable. After they started off hot with wins against UConn and West Virginia, they fell off a bit losing six in a row. They won at Rutgers this past week, but still might be a bit vulnerable. Pitt will see a familiar face in former recruit Herb Pope who leads the way for the Pirates with about 16 points and ten rebounds a game. Simply put, he's one of the best big men in the conference, so that will be fun.

Please no more zone
Why do we keep playing so much zone?? Pitt plays about the worst 2-3 I’ve ever seen….Seton Hall was on pace to score over 100 until Dixon finally went man.
Gibbs is playing a good game
But still rushes shots at timse

Pitt refuses to extend leads and this type of crap happens

Pitt is such a joke
6 point lead and we lose it like that. Embarrassing.
Officially done unless we win BE tourney which isn’t happening.
O well
Never really thought they’d be able to put on a run to make the tournament.
I’ll be there at the last backyard brawl though!
18-5 SH run
That’ll do it. This team might be even worse next year unless the New Zealander is that good
Disgusting
So sick of the awful shooting that has plagued this team and blowing leads. The six-point lead disappeared in a matter of about two minutes and it seems that one bad play is always a precursor to several more.
