After a ten point loss at home to the Long Beach State 49ers, the Pitt Panthers tumbled in the latest edition of the USA Today and AP polls released on Monday. Ranked 9th in both polls last week, Pitt fell to 17th in the AP Poll and 16th in the USA Today coaches poll. Jamie Dixon's squad looks to get back on track Tuesday night when they host La Salle at the Petersen Events Center before traveling to Penn to close out the week.
Defending national champion UConn continues to carry the banner for the Big East, ranking fourth in each poll, one spot ahead of Syracuse. Louisville rounds out the Big East representatives in the top ten, ranking 7th in each poll. Marquette is the only other ranked Big East team at this early juncture.
