Pitt Panthers Basketball: 2011 Big East Champions

Pitt is the champions of the best conference in college basketball. That says a lot. This decade Pitt has won multiple Big East regular season champions and tournament championships. I believe the two main reasons Pitt has been able to transform into a National power these past ten years is 1.) Ben Howland and Jamie Dixon being brought in from Northern Arizona and 2.) the Construction of the Peterson Events Center. Without two brilliant head coaches and a state of the art facility to play and sell out games in, the Panthers would still be balling in the 6,000 seat gym known as the Fitzgerald Field House. Pitt's next step as a program is to get over the hump in the march madness tournament and make the Final Four. Last step is to win the National Championship. Regardless of what happens later this march (and believe me anything could happen), Pitt fans should enjoy and feel proud of how far the program has come.
