Pittsburgh Panthers Tickets

There were a lot of positive things about the Pittsburgh Panthers last season – the won they Big East regular season title, earned a #1 ranking in the polls and a top seed in the NCAA Tournament. Of course the season did not end as they had hoped, with a loss to eventual national runner-up Butler in the third round of the tourney, but the Pittsburgh Panthers roster is still loaded with talent so they are certainly going to be a NCAA Final Four contender this season. If you are looking for the best deal on Pittsburgh Panthers basketball tickets, look no further than GoTickets.

When head coach Jamie Dixon was hired in ‘03 with no previous head coaching experience, many Panthers fans were understandably concerned whether he had the qualifications to lead a team in the always tough Big East Conference. But after eight seasons at the helm and an overall record of 216-60, Dixon has certainly silenced any doubters. He still needs to get over the hump and take the Panthers to a Final Four, but that should only be a matter of time. That time could even come this season, as the Panthers will again be one of the favorites in the Big East. As always, the Petersen Events Center, or just “The Pete,” will be filled up for almost every game on the Pitt Panthers basketball schedule.
