I won't say I was impressed by UC, but they did play a Final 4 quality team at their place and did a credible job.

Careless turnovers in the first half doomed them. They did make a nice run at Pitt in the second half, but you just can't spot a team like Pitt all those gimme points in the first half and expect to win.

I think UC continues to learn what it takes to win in the Big East and show improvement.
