Troutman, who earned an undergraduate degree in communication rhetoric in the spring ...

Don't know what communication rhetoric is, but it's good to see a college athlete applying himself to his studies for a change! Interestingly, the brother of a friend is one of Pitt's ass't coaches, and he said the team is a rather dysfunctional group. In my (and his) opinion, they're utterly lacking in bball fundamentals. They win almost despite themselves, sometimes.

Don't get me wrong, I cheer for the Panthers whenever they're playing anyone other than WVU, but their record in the past few years is more a testament to their raw talent than anything else. We attended a game last year and it was very exciting.

......... could be true, but I very much doubt it this year.

The freshmen seem to have brought the team together (not dysfunctional) in a strange way this year.

Here's how ...... the older players have taken an unusual amount of their time to aid the young guys, thus bringing a great deal more maturity to the older guys as a result.

Hmmmmm.

Final Four ...... at least.

p.s. good luck to the Mountaineers!
