The latest college basketball polls were released yesterday and, as expected, Pitt's basketball team dropped a few spots. The Panthers managed to beat Florida State on the road over the weekend, but were also embarrassed in a mid-week game against North Carolina State.
The result wasn't disastrous. Pitt is still ranked in the Coaches Poll, falling three spots to No. 23. In the media poll, the Panthers also slid three spots, going from No. 26 (the first unranked team) to No. 29.
It's a theme that's played out most of the season. Earlier this year, Pitt did get a little more respect from the media, ranking slightly higher among the teams in the Others Receiving Votes category.
