Miller says "Forget you, Thomas Wolfe. You can go home again! Or at least, to the Regional in Boston."

Best storylines in a favorites-heavy Sweet 16? Sean Miller coaching against Pittsburgh has to be among them. After all, perhaps the single-most famous play in Pittsburgh basketball history—"Send It In, Jerome!"—originated with a pass from Miller, who is in the discussion with Levance Fields, Brevin Knight and others for "Best Pitt PG ever." Bonus fun: a lot of people think that if Jamie Dixon ever does bolt Pitt, that job is Miller's for the taking. Gawd, why does the NCAA Tournament take any days off? Keep on playin!
