Men's Basketball

Pitt's men's basketball team won national championships in 1928 and 1930 and has participated in several NCAA and NIT tournaments throughout its history. Pitt's history in the last few decades could be said to start following the resignation of coach Grgurich, and the hiring of Lafayette head coach Roy Chipman in 1980. In his first season at the helm, the Panthers won the Eastern Eight (Today's equivalent of the Big East) Conference Tournament. Pitt continued onto the NCAA tournament, where after a thrilling overtime defeat of Idaho, they were eliminated in the second round by the North Carolina. Chipman's Panthers were able to experience similar success the following season, defeating rival West Virginia for their last Eastern Eight Tournament Championship - energized by insulting remarks by WVU Coach Gale Catlett. Pitt was knocked out of the NCAA tournament in the first round by Pepperdine to end Chipman's second season, as well was Pitt's last as a member of the Eastern Eight Conference. Lafayette or La Fayette is the name of several places in the United States of America, generally named for the French hero of the American Revolution, the Marquis de Lafayette (sometimes referred to as the Marquis de la Fayette), as are most places named Fayette, or Fayetteville: La Fayette, Alabama...


With the opening of the 1982-1983 season, Pitt began play as a member of the new Big East Conference.


In 2002, Pitt began their first season of play at the 12,508 seat Petersen Events Center. Their first opponent at "the Pete", as the facility is called by students, was against cross-city rival Duquesne University. The John M. and Gertrude E. Petersen Events Center is a 12,508-seat multi-purpose arena on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. ... Duquesne University of the Holy Ghost is a private Catholic university in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. ...


The 2005-2006 season marks the 100 year anniversary for the Pitt basketball program. The centennial comes at a time of dramatic change for the program, which is also entering the first year of competition in the newly expanded 16-team Big East Conference. The Big East Conference is a collegiate athletics conference consisting of thirteen universities, mostly in the northeastern United States: Boston College (scheduled to leave in 2005) University of Connecticut (UConn) Georgetown University (Plays Division I-AA football in the Patriot League) University of Notre Dame (Plays Division I-A football...
