Pittsnogle is the most West Virginia a Mountaineer basketball player has ever been. You know what we mean without even having to explain that. The un-athletic-looking big man led the Mountaineers all the way to the Elite Eight in 2005 with neutral fans cheering him on because they loved saying his name.

While West Virginia pushed Louisville to overtime for a trip to the Final Four, the Mountaineers fell a little short. Nevertheless, it was a remarkable run. Pittsnogle came back for his senior season and was a First-Team All-Big-East selection while once again taking West Virginia to the second weekend of the Big Dance.
