| Newark, NJ (Sports Network) - The top-ranked Pittsburgh Panthers still have some work to do if they are to be crowned Big East champions and that work begins this evening in Newark, as the Panthers take on the Seton Hall Pirates at the Prudential Center.

| Providence, RI (Sports Network) - The Pittsburgh Panthers have taken over the top spot in the AP poll, and they figure to carry a wealth of confidence into tonight's Big East Conference road clash with the Providence Friars. Pittsburgh has won its last seven games to improve to a stellar 25-2 overall, and the fact that the club has won 12 of 14 Big East games considering the strength of that conference is tremendously impressive. The Panthers recorded a statement victory last week over then No. |

| Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Sophomore sensation DeJuan Blair posted a monster effort with 20 points and 18 rebounds -- 10 on the offensive glass -- as the fourth-ranked Pittsburgh Panthers manhandled Big East cellar dweller DePaul, 80-61.

| Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - The fourth-ranked Pittsburgh Panthers put their perfect home record on the line tonight, as the DePaul Blue Demons pull into the Steel City for a Big East Conference clash. The Blue Demons can't be all that confident coming into this contest as they have yet to taste victory against a conference opponent, going 0-13 to this point. The team hasn't won a game since topping Alcorn State (90-67) back on December 28th, and nine of its 13 league losses have been by d |

| Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - The Pittsburgh Panthers are legitimate national title contenders, and they will attempt to avoid an upset tonight against the visiting West Virginia Mountaineers in Big East Conference play. West Virginia snapped a two-game skid with an 86-59 romp over Providence on Saturday that enabled the Mountaineers to improve to 8-2 at home. They are 16-7 overall, including 5-5 in conference, and a solid finish to the regular season could land the club an at-large bid to |
