New Tournament Host Slated Starting Season 32...

With the recent hiring of kevbo65, Boston College has become the new host of the PIT starting in Season 32. This will no doubt become the host school for many PIT classics to come...

Could this be true???

Season 30 PIT Field Has Been Eliminated...

The hopes for a National Champ coming from the Season 30 PIT field ended last night after both Miami, FL and Tennessee Tech were defeated in Sweet 16 matchups. Washington defeated Miami, FL and Tennessee Tech fell at the hands of defending National Champ Michigan State 85-80.

It was a great season for both teams as well as the Season 30 PIT field. Only 2 teams can go out on a winning note at season's end, but now the wait and the hopes return as we head for Season 31. The big decision remains as Tennessee head coach kevbo65 must decide whether to stay put and rebuild or whether to take this year's success to a higher level conference. Any move would forfeit his chance to repeat at the PIT crown and would force a move for the Tourney for Season 32...

Until next time...
