AP Poll, from Monday, January 5, 2009, 3:06PM EST. {Click here (SI.com) }.
The Big East’s Pitt Panthers are number one, for the first time in school history {see this, from the Pitt Panthers website}. Saturday, Pitt stuffed Georgetown 70-54, in Washington, D.C. {see this}, with DeJuan Blair racking up 20 points and 17 rebounds. The Panthers are still undefeated, at 14-0. Pitt has a solid chance of remaining undefeated through their next 2 games, versus unranked teams (St. Johns and South Florida). Then they will be tested starting on the 17th and 19th…at Louisville and versus Syracuse; and finishing the month with three more currently ranked teams…at West Virginia, at Villanova, and versus Notre Dame. New arrivals in the top 25 are #17 Boston College, #18 Marquette, and #25 West Virginia.
