CAREER HIGHS

2008-09 GAME-BY-GAME THE STORYLINE A redshirt junior, Gilbert Brown is an athletically gifted and talented small forward who will be counted upon to make a major contribution this season. A smart player who is a student of the game, Brown has contributed athleticism, rebounding, relentless defense, solid shooting and streaky scoring. Last year, Brown came off the bench as Pitt’s sixth man. His playing time increased as the season progressed. As a redshirt freshman in 2007-08, he stepped in to start 15 games after Mike Cook was sidelined with an injury. His best performances came in the Big East Tournament where he ignited Pitt with timely scoring and stellar defensive play. Referred to as the “most athletic perimeter player in America,” coming out of prep school, Brown is a tremendous leaper who owns an impressive mid-range game. CAREER Played in 72 career games with 15 starts...Earned medical hardship for 2006-07 season after suffering several injuries. 2008-09 Played in 32 games off the bench...Missed the season’s first four games due to a stress fracture in his left foot...Reached doublefigure scoring in five games on season...Earned team’s Academic Excellence Award at team banquet...Scored eight points in 21

CAREER HIGHS

2008-09 GAME-BY-GAME THE STORYLINE Senior Jermaine Dixon is Pitt’s lone returning starter from last year’s team. The lefthander proved to be a mentally and physically tough competitor, quick slasher and efficient shooter last year as a junior. Dixon is a natural scorer who can penetrate and attack the basket. He also emerged as Pitt’s lock-down perimeter defender as his assignment often included guarding the opponent’s best perimeter player. Last year, Dixon emerged as Levance Fields’ backcourt counterpart after transferring to Pitt following two seasons at Tallahassee Junior College. This season, Dixon’s experience and leadership will prove valuable to the Panthers. 2008-09 Started all 36 games at off guard...Averaged 8.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game on year...Averaged 10.1 points per game and hit 35.5 percent of his 3point attempts in Big East play...

2008-09 GAME-BY-GAME THE STORYLINE Nasir Robinson (pronounced Na-seer) is described as a hardnosed and aggressive competitor who can play multiple positions. A passionate player who brings outstanding energy, Robinson spent the 2008-09 season coming off the bench at three different positions: power forward, small forward and center. He is a strong, hard-working and fearless player who has a sturdy body and excels at passing and slashing to the hoop. A workhorse and natural floor leader who attacks the basket, the relentless and versatile Robinson can handle the ball, is explosive off the dribble, powerful off the glass and is a rebounding machine. He rebounds far better than his height indicates. 2008-09 Played in 29 games and 186 minutes off the bench as a small forward...Finished season with 34 points and 35 rebounds...Shot 48.4 percent (15-31) from the floor on year...Earned team’s Most Improved Player Award at team banquet...Played 16 minutes, grabbed four rebounds and dished out three assists vs. Belmont, 11/ 25...Played a career-high 21 minutes vs. Indiana, Pa., 11/ 22...Scored six points (3-6 FG) with four rebounds vs. Miami, Ohio, 11/17...Scored four points and grabbed four rebounds in
