The seven schools include: Duke, Gonzaga, Kansas, Michigan State, Pitt, Texas and Wisconsin. ■ Claimed three straight Big East regular season titles (2002, 2003, 2004). ■ Captured two Big East Tournament titles (2003 and 2008). ■ Ascended to the nation’s No. 1 ranking for the first time in school history (2008-09). ■ Awarded with a No. 1 seed upon entering the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history (2008-09). ■ Surpassed both 20 wins overall and 10 wins in Big East regular season play for a school-record nine consecutive seasons. Pitt is the only Big East program to have won over 20 overall games and 10 league games in each of the past nine seasons. ■ Achieved a school-record nine straight 10-win Big East regular seasons. Over the last nine years, Pitt owns a 109-41 record and .727 winning percentage in Big East regular season games, which ranks first in the conference during that period. ■ Completed five of the last nine seasons ranked among the nation’s top-10 programs and eight seasons ranked among the nation’s top-25. ■ Named Madison Square Garden’s “Team of the Decade” after winning two Big East titles and advancing to seven league tournament title games from 2000-10. ■ Concluded its eighth year in the Petersen Events Center with a 132-11 record and .923 winning percentage (16-0 in 2002-03, 19-1 in 2003-04, 13-4 in 2004-05, 16-1 in 2005-06, 16-2 in 2006-07, 16-2 in 2007-08, 19-0 in 2008-09 and 17-1 in 2009-10). The 132-11 record and .923 winning percentage ranks among the nation’s top-10 best marks since the arena opened in 2002. Pitt won 40 consecutive home games from 2002-04, a streak which spanned two years and 68 days. ■ Sold out the Petersen Events Center in each of its first eight seasons and has enjoyed a string of 150 consecutive home sellouts dating back to the 2002 season.

A tremendous athlete and talented player, Gilbert Brown is in his final season at Pitt. Brown has seen action in 95 career games with 15 starts at small forward. Last year Brown served as Pitt’s sixth man contributing lock-down defense, clutch shooting, timely scoring and amazing athleticism. His scoring and production increased as the season progressed. An intelligent player and student of the game, Brown will be counted upon for leadership, scoring and clutch play in 2010-11.































































An all-around player, Brad Wanamaker has emerged as Pitt’s key perimeter playmaker. Wanamaker enters his senior season after leading the Panthers in both assists (4.7 apg.) and steals (41). He also ranked among the team’s top two performers in scoring (12.3 ppg.), minutes played (1,107) and free throw percentage (.720). A spiritual leader, winner, athletic competitor and underrated player, Wanamaker makes his teammates better with strong, consistent play. He is one of only six players in school history to average more than 10.0 points, 4.0 assists and 4.0 rebounds in a season. He has the opportunity to score more than 1,000 career points and become one of only eight players in school history to record over 1,000 points and 400 assists in a career.

Fan excitement is at an all-time high as Pitt Basketball enters its 201011 season ranked among the top-10 in nearly every national poll while also earning consideration as one of the favorites to win the Big East title. Pitt Head Coach Jamie Dixon returns a seasoned and experienced core of players that surprised the college basketball nation last year with its inspired and clutch play. The 201011 campaign draws a stark contrast from last year, when the Panthers were forced to replace four departed starters, two NBA players and two AllAmericans which produced over 4,000 points, 2,200 rebounds and 900 assists combining their careers. The returning 2010-11 squad contains the same group of determined players that overcame those personnel losses, ignored preseason predictions and stepped forward to guide the Pitt program to a 25-9 overall record, second consecutive second place finish in the Big East regular season, a ninth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance and a No. 3 seed upon entering the NCAA Tournament. Pitt returns four of five starters, seven of its top eight scorers, eight of its top-10 in minutes played, 86 percent of its scoring and 88 percent of its rebounding from last year’s team. In addition, the Panthers add four

freshmen and two other players who earned medical redshirts last year. Here is a position-by-position look at the 2010-11 Pitt Panthers:

FORWARDS Pitt returns its entire frontcourt in 2010-11. Senior small forward Gilbert Brown is back for his final season. An experienced fifth-year player, Brown has reached double figure scoring 28 times and averaged 7.0 points over 95 career games. Last year, he ranked third on the squad in scoring (10.7 ppg.) and shot 49.7 percent from the floor. The athletic and talented Brown has shown steady improvement over the years as he has grown into one of Pitt’s leaders. Junior Nasir Robinson returns as Pitt’s starting power forward after making all 34 starts last year. The versatile and undersized Robinson is an athletic, high energy, aggressive and hard-nosed competitor who excels at rebounding, passing and defense. His offensive skills were on display last year when he poured in a team season-high 26 points against Louisville. Sophomore J.J. Richardson is back after earning spot duty at the power forward and center positions. The quick, versatile, aggressive and

PITT’S PRESEASON STORYLINES Pitt begins its quest for a 10th consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance and 10th straight season with 20 or more wins. Pitt returns four of five starters, seven of its eight top scorers, eight of its top-10 in minutes played, 86 percent of its scoring and 88 percent of its rebounding from a team that finished 25-9 overall, placed second in the Big East regular season for a second consecutive season, advanced to its ninth straight NCAA Tournament and earned a No. 3 seed upon entering the tourney. Head Coach Jamie Dixon enters his eighth season at Pitt with a 188-54 overall record. The 188 victories tied an NCAA Division I all-time record for most wins after the first seven seasons as a head coach. Dixon also became the first coach in school history to guide Pitt to seven straight NCAA Tournaments, seven consecutive 20-win seasons and seven straight 10-plus league win years. Last year Dixon became the only head coach in NCAA Division I to guide a program to five consecutive NCAA Tournaments and win at least one game in each of the five tournaments. Pitt and Texas A&M are the only two programs to achieve that distinction over the last five seasons. Once again, Pitt will play a difficult schedule in 2010-11. Combining the last eight seasons, Pitt has ranked No. 3 nationally in average RPI. The Panthers will play an 18-game Big East schedule for the fourth consecutive season. Pitt will also play 21 games against opponents that advanced to postseason play in 2009-10, including 13 contests versus teams advancing to the 2010 NCAA Tournament. Opponents highlighting Pitt’s non-conference slate include Maryland, Illinois and Texas in the Coaches vs. Cancer event at Madison Square Garden and two games at Pittsburgh’s brand new Consol Energy Center vs. Tennessee in the SEC/ Big East Invitational and Duquesne. Pitt took a summer foreign tour to Ireland in late July/early August, 2010. The Panthers won all six of their scheduled games.

2010-11 PITT BASKETBALL

Senior Gilbert Brown is back for his final season at Pitt. Brown has a chance to become a 1,000-point career scorer as he needs 337 more points to achieve that distinction.

physical Richardson saw action in 22 games off the bench last year. His most memorable contest was at West Virginia when he scored nine points and grabbed four rebounds. Redshirt freshman Talib Zanna has continued to develop throughout the offseason. A long, lean, talented and athletic player, Zanna will see action at power forward. Zanna is an aggressive rebounder on both ends of the floor and has proven his inside-outside versatility on offense. His performance this summer on Pitt’s tour to Ireland was especially impressive. Redshirt freshman Lamar Patterson returns for his second season at Pitt after earning a medical redshirt

following a right ankle injury last season. Patterson, who played in 10 games before the injury, owns a consistent jumper and stellar perimeter skills. He will contribute at small forward. Newcomer J.J. Moore brings with him athleticism and talent. The 6-footsix freshman owns a smooth jumper and attacks the basket with size, quickness and aggression. Moore, who averaged 29 points per game last year at South Kent Academy (Conn.), will challenge for playing time at small forward. Freshman walk-on Aron Nwankwo will also contribute at both forward positions.

2010-11 PITT BASKETBALL


SEASON PREVIEW

CENTER Already established as one of the top defensive centers in Pitt basketball history, Gary McGhee returns to the squad after starting all 34 games in 2009-10. The ever-improving, 6-foot11, 250-pound senior offers size and a more traditional post-up look on both the offensive and defensive ends. He also has developed into an offensive low post threat while sporting a hook shot and taking advantage of his aggressiveness around the basket. Following a breakout junior season, the experienced McGhee has seen action in 86 career games. Sophomore Dante Taylor begins his second season at center. A highly skilled and imposing performer, Taylor averaged 4.1 points and 3.7 rebounds in 13.9 minutes last year in 34 games off the bench. He will be counted upon to play key minutes in 2010-11.

GUARDS

68

Pitt must replace defensive stalwart Jermaine Dixon, but the majority of its guards return to form one of the nation’s top backcourts. Senior Brad Wanamaker surfaced as the team’s top playmaker last year. The tough, physical guard finished with six doubledoubles, led the team in both assists (160) and steals (41) and averaged 12.3 points per game while starting all 34 games last year. He also became one of only six players in school history to average more than 10.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists in a season. He will see more action at off guard this year. Junior Ashton Gibbs emerged into one of the nation’s top shooters and scorers in 2009-10. The Big East’s Most Improved Player Award winner and Second Team All-Big East pick, Gibbs led the Panthers in scoring (15.7 ppg.), 3-point field goals made (78), free throw percentage (88.4) and minutes played (34.6 mpg.). A Big East Academic All-Star, Gibbs also set a school record for most consecutive ABOVE RIGHT-CORNER: Lamar Patterson was granted a medical hardship waiver after suffering a knee injury last season.

free throws made (46) and has the opportunity to build upon a stellar sophomore season. A true point guard, sophomore Travon Woodall also is back after an ever-improving season. A quick, multitalented player, Woodall ranked second on the squad in assists (108) and finished with a 1.86 assist:turnover ratio while averaging 20.2 minutes per game. He will be counted upon for key minutes. Pitt also welcomes two freshmen to the backcourt in Cameron Wright and Isaiah Epps. Both will have the opportunity to contribute. Wright is a quick, physical all-around talent from Cleveland, while Epps, a Plainfield, N.J. native, will provide outstanding ball handling. Walk-on Nick Rivers provides depth.

Beginning his eighth year as the University of Pittsburgh’s head men’s basketball coach, Jamie Dixon has certainly made his mark on the Pitt program. Dixon, who is in his 12th year at Pitt, has compiled several coaching milestones: Tied an all-time NCAA Division I record for most wins after seven seasons as a head coach in 2010 with his 188 victories. He also set the all-time record for most wins after six seasons as a head coach with his 163 wins. Guided Pitt to its first-ever NCAA Regional Final and Elite Eight appearance, a school-best 31-5 record, the school’s first-ever No. 1 national ranking and the program’s first-ever No. 1 seed upon entering the NCAA Tournament in 2008-09. Named the 2009 Naismith National Coach of the Year and 2010 Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year. Became the only coach in NCAA Division I basketball to guide his team to the NCAA Tournament and win at least one game in each tournament over the last five seasons (2006-10). Pitt and Texas A&M are the only two schools nationally to achieve that distinction. Led the USA Basketball Under-19 Team to the 2009 FIBA World Championship Gold Medal and 9-0 record after inheriting an overhauled roster and assuming head coaching duties a month before the competition began. Concluded the 2009-10 season as the winningest coach in Big East history with a current .696 winning percentage in league games (9441), while surpassing several legendary names including John Thompson, Jim Calhoun, Jim Boeheim and Lou Carnesseca. Became the first head coach in school history to lead Pitt to seven consecutive 20-win seasons, seven straight 10-plus win Big East regular seasons and seven straight NCAA Tournaments. Dixon has also directed Pitt to three NCAA Sweet Sixteen appearances (2004, 2007 and 2009). Guided Pitt to its second all-time Big East Championship title in 2008. The Panthers became just the second

squad in league history to capture the crown after winning four games. Led Pitt to the Big East Championship Final in four of his first seven seasons as head coach. Is one of only nine coaches in NCAA Division I history to win over 100 games during the first four seasons of a coaching career. Reached 100 wins at Pitt faster than any other head coach in school history. Dixon needed only 126 games to reach the milestone. Only 14 coaches in the history of college basketball reached 100 career victories faster than Dixon. Amassed a seven-year 83-35 Big East regular-season record, the best mark in school history. Tallied a 116-11 home record in his first seven seasons. Became the first rookie head coach in Big East history to both guide his team to the league’s regular season title and earn Big East Coach of the Year honors in 2003-04. Dixon earned those accolades after leading the Panthers to the Big East regular season title and a schoolrecord 31 wins, which rank as the third highest total in NCAA Division I history for a first-year head coach. Dixon also led Pitt on an 18-game win streak to begin the season, a streak which ranks as the third-best start for a rookie head coach in NCAA Division I history.

An outstanding talent evaluator who is nationally recognized for his coaching know-how, unquestioned character and integrity, recruiting skills, rapport with players and work ethic, Jamie Dixon was introduced as the University of Pittsburgh’s 14th head basketball coach on April 15, 2003. Dixon is a basketball coach who is intelligent, honest, confident, wellspoken and true to his word. He is a family man and complete coach who cares for his players and program to the highest degree. Under Dixon, student-athletes have consistently improved as players on the court and developed as citizens off the court. His players consistently graduate and the Pitt program continually achieves high APR scores. For Dixon, basketball is a lifestyle, not a job. He believes teamwork, offensive efficiency,

That philosophy has paid off as Pitt consistently ranks among the nation’s top offensive, defensive and rebounding squads. Dixon’s seven-year head coaching tenure at Pitt has seen the Panthers compile a remarkable 188-54 record, accumulate an 83-35 Big East regular season record and earn seven NCAA Tournament berths, including three Sweet Sixteen appearances (2004, 2007 and 2009) and one NCAA Regional Final (2009). His 188 victories tied the NCAA Division I record for best start to a coaching career after seven seasons and his .777 career winning percentage currently stands third nationally and among the best active Big East coaches. In addition, his 163 wins established the all-time record for best start to a coaching career after six seasons and his .698 Big East winning percentage ranks as the best all-time mark in league play, surpassing such names as Georgetown’s John Thompson, Connecticut’s Jim Calhoun, Syracuse’s Jim Boeheim and St. John’s Lou Carnesseca. Over the past 11 seasons, Dixon has been the one constant and essential figure in the Panthers’ dramatic rise to national prominence. The three-year span from 2001-04 produced the winningest period in school history as Pitt won three consecutive Big East regular-season titles, advanced to three straight NCAA Sweet Sixteen appearances, captured the program’s

In 2000-01, the Panthers surged through the conference tournament, earning a surprising Big East Championship title game berth while winning five of their last seven contests. It was that year in Madison Square Garden that the college basketball world first took notice of the emerging Pitt program as

That strong finish concluded with a National Invitation Tournament berth, the school’s first postseason appearance in four years. The 2001-02 Pitt team built upon that momentum as it finished 29-6 and surpassed the school record of 25 victories set in 1973-74. Pitt won the Big East West championship, the school’s first league title of any kind since the 1987-88 campaign, and made its first NCAA Tournament appearance in nine seasons (1992-93).

In 2005-06, Dixon led Pitt to a fifth straight NCAA Tournament appearance, 25-8 record and fifth berth in the Big East Championship Final over the last six seasons. The 2006-07 Panthers ranked among the nation’s top-10 teams all season and ended with a 29-8 record. Pitt advanced to NCAA Sweet Sixteen play for the fourth time in six seasons and achieved its sixth straight 20-win overall and 10-win league year. Additionally, Dixon reached 100 career wins faster than any other coach in school history and concluded the year with 105 career wins, the second-most wins accumulated over the first four seasons of a head coaching career. The 2007-08 season saw Dixon’s Panthers overcome the incredible adversity of losing two starters (Mike Cook and Levance Fields) and four total players to serious injuries. Nevertheless, under Dixon’s leadership, the undermanned Panthers continued on. Fields returned for the team’s final 13 games and Pitt went on to a successful season. Pitt captured the school’s second Big East Tournament title, becoming just the second team in league history to win the tourney by registering four straight wins, advanced to its seventh straight NCAA Tournament and finished 27-10 overall. Pitt’s 2008-09 season proved to be its most successful to date as the Panthers achieved numerous program milestones including a school record tying 31-5 record, the school’s firstever appearance in the NCAA Regional Final and Elite Eight, the program’s first-ever No. 1 national ranking (for three weeks) and Pitt’s first-ever No. 1 seed upon entering the NCAA Tournament.

In his fifth season on Pitt Head Coach Jamie Dixon’s coaching staff, Knight served the 2006-07 year as its Program Assistant/Video Coordinator and the 2007-08 season as Director of Men’s Basketball Operations. In his role as an assistant coach, Knight is responsible for recruiting student-athletes, scouting opponents, game preparation and on-floor coaching. “Brandin has always been a tremendous asset for our program,” Dixon said. “As a player, Brandin proved to be an exceptional leader and a coach on the floor. Through the years, he has developed into an outstanding basketball coach. He has been a terrific role model for our players and was instrumental in turning our program around. In addition, he has always remained loyal to Pitt.”

A 2003 Wooden All-America team selection, 2002 Associated Press All-America team member and two-time All-Big East honoree, Knight concluded his career with 1,440 points, 785 assists, 492 rebounds and 298 steals.

THE STORYLINE

A fifth-year senior, Gilbert Brown is an athletically gifted and talented small forward who will be counted upon for a leadership role during his final season at Pitt. A smart player who is a student of the game, Brown has contributed athleticism, rebounding, relentless defense, solid shooting and streaky scoring. Brown has the ability to take over a game with his athleticism and offensive aggressiveness. He provides spectacular highlights when he takes it strong to the basket and elevates to the rim.

THE STORYLINE

2009-10

McGhee emerged last year as Pitt’s starting center, providing stellar defense, a shot blocking presence, efficient rebounding and ever-improving offense. A committed, hard working team player, McGhee seemed to get better every time he hit the floor last year as he played a key role in several of the season’s most important plays and dramatic victories. As one of Pitt’s most improved players, McGhee led the Panthers in field goal percentage, blocked shots and rebounds per game. Upon entering his final season, McGhee has the opportunity to establish himself as one of the best defensive centers to ever play at Pitt.

THE STORYLINE

An all-around player, Brad Wanamaker returns to the squad after completing a breakout junior season. Last year, he emerged as Pitt’s key perimeter playmaker as he ranked among the team’s top two players in virtually every offensive statistic. His production is characterized by the fact that he became one of only six players in school history to average over 10.0 points, 4.0 assists and 4.0 rebounds in a season. As a leader and winner, Wanamaker makes his teammates better with strong, consistent play. In 2009-10, he finished second in the Big East (league games) in assists per game. Over the last three seasons, he has improved his game in all facets: shooting, ball-handling and defending. Wanamaker is a versatile, underrated and athletic competitor with the ability to take it to the basket. Known as a relentless worker and winner who will do whatever it takes for his team to be successful, Wanamaker has also proved to be a tough, strong and physical guard with a reputation of being a superb team player.

NASIR ROBINSON 6-5 220 Junior Forward Chester, Pa. Chester H.S.

THE STORYLINE Nasir Robinson (pronounced Naseer) is described as a hard-nosed and aggressive competitor who can play multiple positions. A passionate player who brings outstanding energy, Robinson emerged as Pitt’s starter at power forward last season even though he is undersized at 6-feet-five inches tall. He provides a variety of intangibles to the Panthers: stellar defense, rebounding ability and scoring as evidenced by his 26-point, 11-rebound performance vs. Louisville. He is a strong, hard-working and fearless player who excels at passing, slashing to the hoop and scoring around the basket. A workhorse and natural floor leader who attacks the basket, the relentless and versatile Robinson can handle the ball, is explosive off the dribble, powerful off the glass and is a rebounding machine. He rebounds far better than his size indicates. Look for Robinson to make a key impact on the Panthers’ 2010-11 season.

THE STORYLINE

Talib Zanna (pronounced Ta-leeb Zah-nah) redshirted his first season at Pitt. He is described as a raw and strong athlete who combines skill and athleticism to create matchup problems with the opposition. He possesses a good mid-range jumper, unique and rare post-up skills and is capable of playing with his back to the basket as well as blocking shots on the defensive end.

Juniors Ashton Gibbs and Nasir Robinson both return for their third season at Pitt after each started all 34 games last season. Gibbs, a versatile, smooth-shooting and reliable ballhandler, emerged as Pitt’s leading scorer, clutch shooter and starting point guard last year. He was named Pitt’s sixth Big East Most Improved Player Award winner in the last 11 years, earned All-Big East Second Team honors and is a candidate for various Academic All-America honors. One of the nation’s top shooters, Gibbs continues to make his mark. Robinson, an athletic, hard-nosed and fierce competitor, contributed primarily at power forward for Pitt in 2009-10. A passionate player who brings unlimited energy to the floor, Robinson provides all the intangibles for the Panthers. He rebounds and defends effectively for his size, excels at passing and slashing to the basket on offense and is explosive around the rim. Look for Robinson to again make a significant impact in the new season.

Unranked in the preseason polls and picked to finish ninth out of 16 teams in the annual Big East preseason coaches’ poll, Pitt surprised the nation by recording a 25-9 overall record, finishing in second place in the league standings for a second straight year and earning a No. 3 seed upon entering the NCAA Tournament. Pitt also became the only Big East program to advance to the NCAA Tournament for a ninth straight season and win at least 20 overall games and 10 league games (13-5) in each of the last nine seasons. Seniors Jermaine Dixon, Chase Adams, Tim Frye and Austin Wallace were honored on Senior Day against Rutgers on March 6, 2010. Dixon was joined by his family including older brother Juan, who enjoyed a long-lasting NBA career. Prior to its season opener against Wofford, Pitt raised a banner honoring its 2008-09 NCAA Elite Eight appearance. Fantastic finishes were the norm for Pitt in 2009-10 as the Panthers won several games in dramatic comeback fashion against the likes of Louisville, West Virginia, Wofford and Duquesne. Pitt played its longest game in school history, a three-overtime finish vs. West Virginia. The contest featured several clutch shots and buzzer beaters. Ashton Gibbs swished a 30-foot buzzer beater to complete a comeback win against Providence on March 4, 2010. Teamwork remained the foundation for a Pitt program that saw a variety of players step into key leadership roles and contribute including Ashton Gibbs, Brad Wanamaker, Gary McGhee, Nasir Robinson and Travon Woodall.


2009-10 REVIEW

SEASON IN REVIEW Pitt finishes 25-9, advances to ninth straight NCAA Tournament as No. 3 seed, finishes in second place in the Big East for the second straight year Fantastic finishes. Stunning upsets. Dramatic come-from-behind victories. Breakout performances. Overcoming great odds. Improved players. All of these variables characterized the 200910 Pitt Basketball season. Picked to finish ninth by Big East coaches in the league’s annual preseason coaches’ poll and unranked upon entering the season, the national college basketball experts expected little from Pitt. It was certainly understandable considering the Panthers lost four starters, two NBA players and almost 75 percent of its production from an NCAA Elite Eight team. But the remaining Panthers went to work as Pitt surprised the college basketball nation with a 25-9 overall record, a second consecutive second place finish in the Big East Conference regular season (13-5), a ninth straight NCAA Tournament appearance and a No. 3 seed upon entering the NCAA

Tourney. In addition, Pitt proved to be the only team in the nation to defeat three top-5 nationally ranked teams during the season—No. 5 Syracuse, No. 5 West Virginia and No. 3 Villanova—and concluded the year with a spectacular 17-1 home record. It was the players who rose to the challenge. Lone senior starter Jermaine Dixon battled back from a preseason injury to average 10.6 ppg. and 4.0 rpg. and provide stellar perimeter defense. Dixon was named the Big East’s Defensive Player of the Year by The Sporting News. Sophomore Ashton Gibbs moved into the starting point guard role and blossomed into the team’s clutch scorer. The 2010 Big East Most Improved Player and All-Big East Second Team selection, Gibbs led the squad in scoring (15.7 ppg.), hit 78 3point field goals and also set a school record for most consecutive free throws made with 46. Junior Brad Wanamaker emerged into the team’s top playmaker as he led the squad in assists (4.7 apg.) and contributed 12.3 points and 5.7 rebounds per game. He also became one of only six players in school history to average more than 10.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists in a season. Junior Gary McGhee (6.9 ppg.) started all 34 games at center, led the Panthers in rebounding (6.8 rpg.) and blocked shots (59) and impressed on defense. Once again, Gilbert Brown’s athleticism was on display as the junior provided high scoring games and highlight-reel plays en route to averaging 10.7 ppg. Sophomore Nasir Robinson emerged into the starting power forward role and contributed all the key intangibles, along with 6.6 ppg.

Senior Mike Cook hoists the Big East Tournament championship trophy after the Panthers became just the second team in league history to win the tourney with four straight wins. Cook went down with a season-ending knee injury on Dec. 20 vs. Duke, but still remained a key part of the team. Cook applied for a sixth year of eligibility but was denied by the NCAA in August.

Jermaine Dixon concluded the year by earning Big East Defensive Player of the Year honors by The Sporting News.

Five of the top players in school history are depicted here including Charles Smith, Don Hennon, Billy Knight, Jerome Lane and Brandin Knight. Smith, Hennon, Billy Knight and Brandin Knight are the four Pitt players to have their jerseys retired. All four have found success beyond basketball as Hennon became a medical doctor, Billy Knight served as General Manager for the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks (2003-08), Brandin Knight currently serves as an assistant coach with the Pitt Basketball program and Smith, following a productive NBA career, is a successful businessman and chairman of the Charles D. Smith Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing a positive alternative for today’s youth. An NBA veteran, Lane is shown here throwing down his backboard shattering dunk against Providence on Jan. 25, 1988. “Send it in Jerome!” proclaimed ESPN broadcaster Bill Raftery minutes after Lane’s thunderous dunk prompted a 30-minute delay in the game. Pitt went on to claim a 90-56 victory, then went on to capture the 1987-88 Big East regular season title. The game is forever labeled as the “Night the House Came Down.”

PITT’S BUZZER BEATERS February 18, 1928 Charley Hyatt, probably Pittsburgh’s greatest basketball player before 1950, preserved the Panthers’ perfect 21-0 season when he took a pass from Paul Zehfuss and hit a last second shot to upend Notre Dame 24-22. February 26, 1951 In the last game played at Pitt Pavilion, Pitt defeats West Virginia 72-71 when Scott Phillips hits a bank shot in the closing seconds. February 2, 1963 Dave Roman hits a last second shot that seemingly beat West Virginia. The shot was nullified because another Pittsburgh player signaled for a timeout just before Roman released his shot and West Virginia claimed a 68-67 victory at Fitzgerald Field House. February 15, 1964 Brian Generalovich scores on a layup in the closing seconds for a 69-67 home win over Syracuse. February 15, 1975 Keith Starr hits a layup in the final two seconds to defeat Virginia 71-70. February 23, 1974 Pitt’s 22-game win streak ends with a 66-64 loss at Penn State when PSU’s Ron Brown swishes a jumper from the top of the key as the buzzer sounds.

December 13, 1975 Pitt stretches its Fitzgerald Field House win streak to 27 games when Tom Richards threw in a 45-foot shot at the buzzer to defeat Ohio 72-71. The 1973-74 and 1974-75 teams never lost a game at the Field House. February 2, 1977 A 22-foot last second corner jumper by Larry Harris gave Pitt a surprising 65-64 upset win vs. nationally ranked Cincinnati (coached by Gale Catlett) at Fitzgerald Field House. Harris scored 31 points in the win. February 11, 1978 Larry Harris hit a corner jumper at the end of regulation to tie the game against Maryland and send it into overtime at Civic Arena. Pitt won 89-86. December 15, 1979 Sammie Ellis banks in a shot off the glass to defeat St. Bonaventure, 72-70 at Fitzgerald Field House. February 10, 1979 Pitt upsets No 3 ranked and 17-1 Duke 71-69 at Cameron Indoor Stadium. With the score tied at 69-69 with 3:05 to go, Duke coach Bill Foster decided to have his team hold onto the ball. With 10 seconds to go, Sam Clancy intercepted a back-door pass intended for Jim Spanarkal from Bob Bender, dribbled the length of the floor, missed a 15foot jumper, grabbed the rebound from Mike Gminski and dropped in an easy layup with two seconds left to give Pitt a 71-69 upset win.

December 29, 1981 In Pitt’s third game of the Far West Classic in Portland, Ore., Clyde Vaughan hits a jumper in the closing seconds to defeat Tennessee 56-54. February 14, 1987 Ranked No. 10, the Panthers went into overtime against Boston College without 610 center Charles Smith, who fouled out with 2:37 to go. The upset-minded Eagles led 6158 with three seconds to go when freshman Rod Brookin drained a three-pointer from the corner to force another overtime period. January 12, 1993 An Antoine Jones tip-in with 0.06 seconds left gives Pitt an 80-78 road victory over Connecticut at the Hartford Civic Center. January 16, 1993 A three-point bomb by freshman Garrick Thomas broke a 73-73 tie with four seconds remaining, lifting Pitt to an upset of No. 7 ranked Seton Hall. Thomas scored 16 points, Chris McNeal added 19 and 11 rebounds. The win helped give Pitt its fifth NCAA bid under Paul Evans. January 6, 1996 At West Virginia, Jerry McCullough sends the game into overtime as he converts a 22-foot jumper at the top of the key with 3.8 seconds left. Pitt goes on to win an 84-83 decision. February 17, 1999 Ricardo Greer scores on an offensive rebound putback to help Pitt defeat West Virginia 69-67 on ESPN. February 20, 1999 Three days later in the following game, Steve Flores hits a shot with five seconds to go to give Pitt a 67-66 win over Boston College. January 4, 2006 Ronald Ramon converts a 3-pointer with 15 seconds left to lift Pitt to a 100-97 double overtime win over Notre Dame. December 20, 2007 Levance Fields hits a stepback 3-pointer with 4.7 seconds left in overtime to defeat Duke 65-64 at Madison Square Garden. Fields dedicated the shot to his friend and teammate Mike Cook, who tore his ACL during the first minute of overtime. February 7, 2008 Ronald Ramon hit a game-winning 3pointer to give Pitt a 55-54 win over West Virginia at the Petersen Events Center. The game represented the first buzzer-beater in PEC history. Keith Benjamin drove the lane, drew Ramon’s defender and found Ramon open in the corner. March 4, 2010 Trailing 71-70 with 3.5 seconds remaining, Ashton Gibbs received an inbounds pass, dribbled up the court, pulled up for a 30-foot 3-pointer and swished the shot at the buzzer to give Pitt a 73-71 win over Providence. Pitt battled back from a 6156 deficit with less than seven minutes to go.

Situated in an urban neighborhood with a campus dotted with gardens and trees is the University of Pittsburgh. A “World Class Institution,� the University of Pittsburgh offers 440 degree programs, a 16:1 student-to-teacher ratio and more than 230 clubs and organizations. Simply put, the University of Pittsburgh is an exciting and vibrant place to earn a college degree.


THE UNIVERSITY

CHANCELLOR MARK A. NORDENBERG Chancellor of the University of Pittsburgh and Distinguished Service Professor of Law The past academic year was Mark Nordenberg’s fifteenth year of service as Chancellor of the University of Pittsburgh. It was a year that presented a broad range of serious challenges– for the world’s economy and for higher education generally, as well as for the University. It also was a year of extraordinary accomplishment for Pitt, clearly reflecting a determined commitment to ensure that institutional momentum was maintained and that Pitt continued to build strength, even in the aftermath of what now is known as the “Great Recession.” Consider the following telling examples of position and progress.

196

For the fourth consecutive year, Pitt was ranked in the very top cluster of the nation’s public research universities in The Top American Research Universities, an objective assessment undertaken annually by the Center for Measuring University Performance. The other distinguished universities in that top group were Berkeley, Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina, UCLA and Wisconsin. Pitt was among the top five universities, private or public, in terms of the research grants competitively won by members of its faculty from the National Institutes of Health–joining Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Penn and the University of California at San Francisco. Pitt also ranked among the top ten universities nationally in terms of total federal science and engineering research and development support. The other universities in that “top ten” are Johns Hopkins, Washington, Michigan, Penn, UCLA, Duke, Columbia, Stanford and the University of California at San Francisco. For the third time in five years, a Pitt undergraduate was named a Rhodes Scholar. Since only thirty-two Rhodes Scholars are selected annually from among the very best students at the country’s best universities, this is a truly noteworthy accomplishment. In fact, only four public universities have claimed three Rhodes Scholarships in the last five years–Florida State, North Carolina, UCLA and Pitt.

Pitt was ranked as the nation’s top public university in last year’s edition of Saviors of our Cities: A Survey of Best College and University Civic Partnerships, a well deserved acknowledgment of a very strong record of community commitment. The University also received national recognition as one of the best places for biomedical researchers to work, as one of America’s most “veteran friendly” universities, and as one of the country’s best employers of people over fifty. Pitt’s progress over a more extended period of time can be measured in a number of ways. Because the University’s principal missions are education and research, two indicators of growing stature, as measured by the marketplace, are especially telling. From 1995 to 2010, applications for admission to the undergraduate programs of the Oakland campus have nearly tripled, climbing from 7,800 to more than 22,600. During that same period, the University’s annual research expenditures more than tripled, growing from $240 million in 1995 to $735 million in 2010. Those dollars not only fund pioneering work and are a recognized sign of institutional strength but support large numbers of local jobs. In fact, applying standard conventions, Pitt now supports, directly

and indirectly, close to 26,500 jobs through its research expenditures alone. Any institution of higher learning makes many of its most important contributions through the work of its graduates, and the recognition earned by Pitt alumni would be the envy of any university. Among many other honors, during the past decade, graduates of the University of Pittsburgh have claimed the Nobel Peace Prize, the Nobel Prize in Medicine, the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, the National Medal of Science (this country’s highest scientific honor), the Fritz Medal in Engineering (that discipline’s highest honor), the Shaw Prize in Medicine (awarded in Hong Kong and also known as “the Nobel of the East”) and the Albany Prize in Medicine (this country’s largest award in that discipline). The stature of any university also is directly dependent on the achievements of its faculty, and Pitt faculty members continue to claim the highest honors in their fields. Examples reflecting the breadth of faculty accomplishment include election to such prestigious societies as the National Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Medicine, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Society for Clinical Investigation, the American Association

for the Advancement of Science, the National Academy of Education, the American Academy of Nursing, the American Educational Research Association, and the World Academy of Art and Science. Looking to the future, it may be especially telling that more junior members of the Pitt faculty regularly claim the most prestigious “early career” awards for their high potential work. Over the course of his years in office, Chancellor Nordenberg has received many forms of professional recognition for his own accomplishments. Among other honors, he has been named Pittsburgh’s Person of the Year by both Vector’s Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh magazine. Even more recently, he was named a History Maker by the Senator John Heinz History Center, was awarded the Homer S. Brown Law Association’s Spirit Award, and received the Presidential Leadership Award from six national foundations and professional organizations for his efforts to promote a vibrant intellectual and social campus climate that deemphasizes alcohol. To celebrate the remarkable progress achieved during his first decade as Chancellor, University trustees, alumni leaders and special friends contributed $2.5 million to endow a faculty chair in his name.

the time of that announcement, the late Chief Justice Ralph J. Cappy, then the Chair of the University’s Board of Trustees, stated: “This endowed chair indicates the extraordinary esteem in which we hold Mark Nordenberg, not only as an individual and a leader who has brought the University to an unprecedented level of success and achievement but also as a true academic at heart. And for a person who is a true academic, the highest honor one can bestow is to endow a faculty chair in his or her name in perpetuity.” Chancellor Nordenberg joined the faculty of Pitt’s School of Law in 1977 and quickly built a reputation as an outstanding teacher. He was the initial recipient of the Excellence in Teaching Award now presented annually by the School’s graduating class. He also was one of the first faculty members to receive the Chancellor’s Distinguished Teaching Award, recognizing teaching excellence university-wide. His area of academic specialty is civil litigation, and he has served as a member of both the U.S. Supreme Court’s Advisory Committee on Civil Rules and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s Civil Procedural Rules Committee. Earlier in his career, Chancellor Nordenberg served as Dean of the School of Law and Interim Provost of the University. In 1994, he was elevated to the special faculty rank of Distinguished Service Professor. In 1995, he was elected Interim Chancellor by the University’s Board of Trustees, and in 1996, following a national search, he was elected Chancellor. Chancellor Nordenberg has long been an active contributor to the broader community, leading efforts focused on such key issues as the proposed consolidation of city and county governments, the challenges facing the state’s urban schools, the work force development needs of the region, and issues of governance in the city’s public schools. He served as the founding chair or co-chair of such technology-driven economic development initiatives as the Pittsburgh Digital Greenhouse, the Pittsburgh Life Sciences Greenhouse, the Robotics Foundry, and the Technology Collaborative. He is a past

Chair of both the Pennsylvania Association of Colleges and Universities and the Pittsburgh Council on Higher Education. He also is a member of the board and executive committee of the Allegheny Conference on Community Development and a Director of Bank of New York Mellon. Chancellor Nordenberg is a strong supporter of Pitt athletics. He is a past Chair of the Big East Conference and currently serves on its executive committee. He is a past member of the NCAA’s board of directors and its executive committee. He also serves as the Big East representative to the Presidential Oversight Committee of the Bowl Championship Series. Chancellor Nordenberg has long recognized that a vibrant athletic program not only serves as a unifying force within the University but provides a critical link to the broader community. He also recognizes that success in competition is just one measure of a program’s worth. Pitt student-athletes also are a source of pride because of the way that they represent our University, contribute to the broader community, and achieve academically. During the last year, 141 Pitt student-athletes earned a gradepoint-average between 3.0 and 3.49; 93 earned GPA’s between 3.5 and 3.99; and twelve student-athletes achieved a perfect 4.0 grad-pointaverage. A member of our women’s volleyball team, was named the overall female scholar-athlete of the year by the Big East Conference, and a member of our football team was named the Big East scholar-athlete of the year in that sport. Born in Duluth, Minnesota, Chancellor Nordenberg first moved to this region as a high school senior, when his father was transferred to Pittsburgh by U.S. Steel. He is an honors graduate of North Allegheny High School, Thiel College and the University of Wisconsin Law School. He has been married for nearly 40 years to Nikki Pirillo Nordenberg, who earned her Ph.D. at Pitt. The Nordenbergs have three adult children– Erin, Carl and Michael– each of whom is a graduate of the University’s Falk Laboratory School. Erin also earned a graduate degree from Pitt’s School of Information Sciences.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR STEVE PEDERSON

198

In an increasingly challenging age for intercollegiate sports, the success of the University of Pittsburgh’s athletic department is nothing short of impressive. By any measure – be it victories on the field of play, student-athlete graduation rates or rising attendance figures – Pitt Athletics is enjoying a new golden era. The architect of the Panthers’ 21st century renaissance is Steve Pederson. Now entering his 10th year as Pitt’s athletic director, Pederson’s leadership has ushered in an exciting new age of heightened achievement – and an anticipation of even greater accomplishments in the future. The key to accomplishment, Pederson believes, is aspiration – the Panthers will work hard and aim high in every endeavor. That philosophy resonates with each Pitt student-athlete and staffer, and is the driving spirit behind his department mantra of “Only Big Dreams.” His ability to galvanize people and programs prompted Pitt chancellor Mark Nordenberg to say, “In my judgment, and this assessment is shared by countless others, Steve Pederson is one of this country’s most talented and accomplished athletic directors.” Indeed, each year of his tenure has witnessed new points of pride for Pitt Athletics. The 2009-10 academic year was no exception – and it has the Panther Nation eagerly anticipating the possibilities for 2010-11. Success was plentiful in the athletic arena this past year. Pitt’s most visible sports, football and men’s basketball, boasted Top 20 rankings. Football won 10 games, including a stirring bowl victory over North Carolina, and finished 15th in the final polls. Basketball

2010-11 PITT BASKETBALL

continued its remarkable run by earning a ninth consecutive NCAA Tournament berth, the longest active streak in the Big East. This success prompted CBS Sports to list Pitt as one of the five best combination football and basketball programs in the entire country. Other notable achievements included a historic campaign for the Pitt wrestling team, which captured its first-ever Eastern Wrestling League (EWL) championship; a 38victory season for baseball, which spent the majority of the year in the Top 25; and a fifth consecutive postseason berth for women’s basketball. Individually, Pitt student-athletes earned All-America and Academic All-America honors, while continuing to graduate and achieve in the classroom at unprecedented levels. An impressive 269 studentathletes earned grade-point averages of 3.0 or above this past year, including 12 who achieved perfect 4.0 GPAs. Volleyball’s Meagan Dooley exemplified the best of both academics and athletics at Pitt. An All-America performer on the court, Dooley was also a 4.0 student while earning a dual degree in special education and liberal arts. An NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship recipient, she was honored as the Big East’s Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year and Volleyball Player of the Year. And Pitt student-athletes continued to make their presence felt in the community, contributing more than 2,600 hours of charitable work for various organizations around Western Pennsylvania and beyond in 2009-10. Momentum for Pitt Athletics under Pederson’s watch was obvious in other areas as well. The Pitt Athletic Department was the recipient of a generous and substantial gift from alumnus John Petersen and his wife Gertrude for the construction of the Panthers’ new Olympic Sports Complex. The facility, to be named the Petersen Sports Complex, is being built on 12 acres at the peak of Pitt’s upper campus, and will provide state-ofthe-art homes for the Panthers’ baseball, softball and men’s and women’s soccer teams. The Petersen Sports Complex will not only give Pitt student-athletes nationally competitive facilities, but it also will rejuvenate a previously untapped area of land that neighbors the University of

Pittsburgh campus. The facility is scheduled to open in the spring of 2011. On the media front, Pederson orchestrated a partnership with CBS Radio Pittsburgh, giving Pitt football and basketball a powerful new flagship home in KDKA-FM 93.7 The Fan beginning in the fall of 2010. With coverage that blankets the tri-state area, 93.7 The Fan will broadcast not only Pitt games but also an array of compelling ancillary programming. Additionally, Pitt women’s basketball gained a new radio home in 1320 WJAS-AM. One of Pittsburgh’s most historic radio stations, WJAS will provide live playby-play action of each regularseason and postseason game for the Panthers in 2010-11, marking the first time the Pitt women’s basketball program has enjoyed such coverage. Pederson’s efforts also produced a new athletics apparel partnership with NIKE, making the Panthers one of the finest outfitted programs in the country. Each of the Panthers’ 19 intercollegiate sports teams wear NIKE footwear, uniforms, practice gear and equipment. The long-term agreement outfits more than 450 student-athletes at Pitt. The excitement surrounding Pitt Athletics is also evident at the turnstiles. Pitt men’s basketball

once again enjoyed a strong homecourt advantage with the 12,508-seat Petersen Events Center soldout for an eighth consecutive year. Moreover, attendance for Pitt football at Heinz Field has jumped 60% over the past two years, a trend that figures to continue into the 2010 season. This success – on the field, in the classroom and various other areas – comes as no surprise to those familiar with Pederson’s track record. His return to Pitt in November 2007 gave the Pitt Athletic Department an instant shot of adrenaline that continues to be felt, and built upon, three years later. His initial Pitt tenure, from 19962002, was characterized by a dramatic revitalization of the Panthers’ fortunes, building the foundation for the success the Pitt Athletic Department enjoys today. During his first Pitt tenure, Pederson hired six Big East Conference Coach-of-the-Year honorees (football, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, track and field and volleyball), an unprecedented achievement by a Big East athletic director. In 1999 he charged an unknown coach from Northern Arizona University with the task of resurrecting the Panthers’ struggling men’s basketball

The University began in the Pennsylvania wilderness as the Pittsburgh Academy in 1787, the year the U.S. Constitution was adopted. Thirty-two years later, the Pittsburgh Academy became the Western University of Pittsburgh, and in 1908, the school changed its name to the University of Pittsburgh. Graduate degrees have been conferred since 1836, and the first doctoral program was developed in 1884. A private institution for most of its past, the University of Pittsburgh became staterelated in 1966, establishing a relationship with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that continues to benefit both partners. Today, as an elected member of the prestigious Association of American Universities, Pittsburgh claims its place among the top public research universities in the nation.

ACADEMIC ORGANIZATION As an independent, state-related, coeducational institution, the University of Pittsburgh’s main campus offers a multitude of degree-granting and other
