For Real

Ok, I admit it now loudly and clearly. Pitt is good. Really really good. In a week that saw the Hoyas head into Storrs and rout the Huskies, and the Irish get dropped by lowly St. John's, the Pathers performance today resonated loudly.

Sophmore DeJuan Blair stole the show today. With dozens of scouts in the stands, ostensibly to see freshman standout Greg Monroe, Blair handily outplayed him scoring 20 points and snatching 17 boards. More importantly, the Pathers snatched the win and the early leg up in the brutal Big East.

20 points. 17 boards. And an early contender to challenge Luke Harangody for Big East POY.
