Dixon: Pitt's Rebuilding Project Won't Take Long
PITTSBURGH -- Here's what losing DeJuan Blair, Sam Young and Levance Fields means: Pittsburgh, one of the eight best teams in the country last season, was picked ninth in the Big East Conference coaches preseason poll.
Nearly 70 percent of the Panthers' scoring and rebounding are gone from last season. Only one starter returns, and he's spent most of the preseason with a walking boot on his broken foot. The leading scorer in the first preseason game was a freshman.
Not surprisingly, this is supposed to be the season the Panthers return to the Big East pack, no longer an elite team like those that averaged 29 victories over the last three seasons.
Since transforming itself from a back-of-the-pack team into a Top 25 fixture in 2001, Pitt hasn't undergone such a major overhaul. None of the Panthers' top six players from last season will be playing when the season starts Nov. 13 against Wofford, and reaching the NCAA tournament for a ninth consecutive season will be a significant challenge.
