Lost a bit in the hoopla of the Pitt basketball and the NCAA Tournament discussion in the past few days were some key comments made by athletics director Scott Barnes regarding head coach Jamie Dixon.
Barnes talked a bit about the Panthers' need to improve non-conference scheduling a little as well as the team's chances to make the NCAA Tournament in an article by Paul Zeise that dropped yesterday. But one thing that shouldn't be lost there is that Barnes showed his full support of Dixon.
While a pocket of disgruntled Pitt fans out there want to see Dixon replaced, it's clear that Barnes is not in that contingent.
