[BlogorDIE!] Pitt is #1! AGAIN!

University of Pittsburgh sophomore forward/center DeJuan Blair was named the Big East Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week on Monday by the league office.

Since losing to Villanova the Panthers have been pounding their way back to the number 1 spot. This jump from #4 in the nation back to #1 is the biggest jump since UCLA went from fifth to first in 2006.  Sophomore standout DeJuan Blair (fellow Schenley alum) has been Sensational averaging 15.8 ppg, 13 rpg, & shooting 60% from the field, and against the former #1 UConn in a 76-68 Win, he had 22 pts & 23 rebounds! DB is playin big boys basketball! Big UP!
