What a tournament it's been. Yes, my PITT Panthers shit the bed and lost to Bradley, but they will be back. Head Coach Jamie Dixon signed a long contract extension through 2013 (which is huge) and they return 8 of 10 starters. A solid recurting class can be finalized if the Panthers can land 6-7 forward Tyler Smith.
Smith is a highly touted player out of Hargrave (Va.) Military Academy. Smith's finalists reportedly are Pitt, Memphis, Kentucky and Iowa.
Smith would join heralded recruit Gilbert Brown, a 6-foot-6 swingman from Harrisburg who played at South Kent (Ct.) Prep. Brown says he can't wait to arrive for summer sessions. He believes he can add some of the things he saw Pitt lacking in its NCAA Tournament loss to Bradley.
All that said, it's been a great tournament with some very exciting games. Props to George Mason, Wichita State and many others. Go Big East.
