Pitt Dominates Wake Forest, North Carolina Up Next
GREENSBORO, N.C. – Jamie Dixon doesn’t know whether a 29-point victory over Wake Forest in Pitt’s inaugural ACC Tournament game or 24 victories, half of them in the ACC, will get his Panthers into the NCAA Tournament.

Pittsburgh Panthers beats Notre Dame
Pitt and Notre Dame swung between euphoria and despair Saturday night at Heinz Field.

Pitt Defense to Rely on Back-up Plan
A few days after he was named Pitt’s defensive coordinator, Matt House sat down with a reporter to discuss his new job. Clearly, he had a plan.

Pitt Tackle Bisnowaty Eats Up Competition
When Adam Bisnowaty arrived at Pitt last year, he needed some polish.
