Robert Morris guards Velton Jones, left, and Gary Wallace defend as Pitt guard Brad Wanamaker drives to the hoop in the first half of last night's game at the Petersen Events Center.
For 10 minutes, Robert Morris looked like a team that could compete against a Top 25 team. And it wasn't veteran leadership that put them in that position. (Today)
Ray takes your questions on the Panthers. (Today)
Why is Jamie Dixon so stubborn? A few years ago,he insisted on Sam Young being a power forward. This continued for two years without any positive results.When in his junior year he let him play small forward where he wanted to play all along.We all know how he immediately thrived. Now we have Dante Taylor who I am sure does not want to play with his back to the basket, but Jamie insists whether it is at center or power forward. A recent interview with his high school coach indicates that Dante is at his best shooting three's from outside.That's a surprise to me and possibly to Jamie. How long must we wait to see if there is a Sam Young hidden inside? (Today)

Pitt's starting guard tandem of Ashton Gibbs and Jermaine Dixon hadn't exactly been shooting stars for the Panthers in recent weeks. Both had gone through some prolonged 3-point shooting slumps, which made the Panthers' 3-point shooting percentage plummet as well as Pitt's offensive output. (Yesterday)
