Pitt-Marquette

Only was able to get home and watch the game starting with ~4 minutes left in the second half and pitt down 60-51. Nice comeback to force OT with Ramon showing some nice touch. And the in OT, once they were able to put Gray back in the game, I thought they had it won. But Gray's 3 missed free throws + Kendall's turnover near the end + Marquette's lights-out FT shooting doomed the Panthers.

You can now argue that Oitt is 0-3 in their three toughest games -- 2 of which were eminently winnable if they could make some free throws. Next couple of games should be cakewalks but i am starting to get the uneasy feeling that disappointment lurks ahead for this team in march.

In other news, the confusion of yesterday in the hiring of Tomlin or Grimm seems to have faded away. Tomlin is the choice. Will see what he says tomorrow when the announcement is official.
