There haven't been as hard of a fall that a team has seen since Pitt's men's basketball program. Over the past few years, they've retrogressed from a perennial March Madness contender to the punchline of the ACC. It's been more misery, a different kind from the underperformance and failures of Marches past.
But the question we have to ask is what led to this season? If you look deeper into this, this 0-19 ACC lowlight of a year has been years in the making. This video will (hopefully) explain the situation to you... maybe.
NOTE: This was a bit of a tough one to do. Not only as a fan of Pitt Athletics but because it seemed like my internet wasn't cooperating, either. Maybe it's a sign...
Make a haters guide to march madness
Harry Loomis you know how long thats gonna take for him...
A more realistic approach would be the Hater's Guide to the Final Four
There is really not enough time for that. You're asking him to do research and cover 64 teams, 32 of them who are going to be gone after one game. Sweet Sixteen? Sure, but not the whole damn tournament.
See Five Points' latest vid for more
Josh Manry that’s kind of what I intended to say lol
I guess you can call it, *_"The PITT of Misery"_* #DILLYDILLY
NO! BAD! >:-(
You go sit in the corner and think about what you just said, Mister!
Dilly Dilly!
YOU'RE NOT HELPING! >_
good one
PITT of Misery! Dilly! Dilly!
I’m a Pitt alumni and this is 1000% spot on analysis. The fact of the matter is, and I hate to admit it, Pitts basketball “glory days” are over. There are so many things that would need to go right in order for Pitt to even achieve maybe a 500 record. I’m sorry but this team will be fucked for decades to come.
I just stumbled upon this video and I was curious what your thoughts are on the growth of the program these past two years, and if your options on Pitt's future have changed. I personally think based on what we've seen from Capel that he can turn this program around. That being said, this upcoming season will be huge in terms of where the future of Pitt basketball lies.

We are doing rlly good right now yay
They are doing very good now

Found this video long after it was made. Mostly spot on but the reason the recruiting pipeline dried up had nothing to do with the move to the ACC. The reason we stopped getting recruits from NYC is that the NY/NJ catholic schools that had been so good to Pitt all closed down and Jamie didn’t have as strong an inroad with the AAU scene in the area. In fact, NYC just kinda went downhill with bball full stop. It’s the reason why outside of Nova the new Big East is led by mostly Midwest schools.
Last time I was this early the falcons still had a 28-3 lead.
Prodigy ADED Last time i was this early the broncos had a chance to win sb48
Last time I was this early, the Cowboys were still "America's team".
Last time I was this early, the Cleveland Browns were a powerhouse.
Prodigy ADED not that funny anymore
Mr. Dabb broncos sb48 memes are irrelevant because we won a superbowl anyway after, but the falcons are still a meme
Can we make a 2.0 of this video?
Hopefully this is the start of many videos on several different college universities and the sports that are plaguing certain programs. Perhaps you should do KU's football team sometime in August.
Trey Magathan UConn’s Men’s would be a good start
Jacoby Nixon
Sure, but Kansas has had only one good year in the past 25 seasons and they're consistently ranked at the bottom of the Power 5 every single year. It wouldn't surprise me if KU dropped out of the Big 12 and went independent like with Notre Dame, Army, BYU, and UMass. The one question I have with that kind of move is would it fuck up the rest of KU's sports programs as well?
As a KU fan I would be pleased if he rips apart our football program, but most KU fans also won't care because it's not basketball
TLOWNSU
The main purpose of these videos is to expose how incompetent, corrupt, or just how plain old bad some teams are. If it were strictly meant for the specific team getting roasted, the audience would be much smaller than 129K. It's time that someone goes over every element that took place from KU's Orange Bowl victory over Virginia Tech in 2008 to perennial 2-10 performer.
Trey Magathan Oh I know. I became a fan the moment I watched him rip my Rams apart and shit on Kroenke. The Blues one is also amazing. I'm just saying a good amount of KU fans won't care, but everyone else definitely will
If I had a daughter, I would let UrinatingTree have her
He could have me. No homo.
It's a good comment.
And you know that it's true.
You'd let this happen as well.
This is the wirdest comment ever. 😂
I wouldn’t but he would definitely be The Godfather
As if you'd have a say in the matter.
When I see a video made by the Tree, I like and comment.
This needs to be an official new series, aside from Lolcow's and Legacy of Failure.
Who’s here now that Jeff Capel turned this team around and got Pitt two wins in the 2023 Tournament? They should be fine now!
Oh my gosh it’s a collage video made by UrinatingTree!
Since my sister went to PITT, I’ve learned the true meaning of being PITTiful. Like you said, we wish we could go back to the days of having pretty good teams that choked when it mattered.
Anyone revisiting after Pitt is now tied for 1st in the ACC
Seat Geek Got us Into the Bruins 7-4 Hawks Matenee on 3-10-2017 in Boston. Freaking Awesome app and EPIC game! Had controversy and back and forth goal scoring, as well as some Fantastic defensive play on both ends. Preview of our seats was right on the dot and even better then advertised. Fiance's first game was a BEAUT! Thanks again @UrinatingTree for turning us on to this app! Fantastic Comedy Mini Documentary Again! Great work and Proud to be a SUb to your channel for almost 3 years now! #SeatGeek #Tree #Perfection #Boston
If I had a boy I would trade him for urinating tree

I highly doubt you still check comments on a two year old video, but I was curious on your thoughts about the program two years later? I'm personally super excited for this season and I think it's gonna be a really important season for them.
Yes! UrinatingTree will tackle the problem with college basketball! Thank you so much, Tree!

Can you do an ASU video? Maybe "Congratulations Arizona State" because of how they finished the season after going 12-0.
At least they are in the NCAA Tournament.
Really? The Main Event Of The Pac-12 Is The Choke Job Of Utah. They Beat ASU, The Win 5 Straight, And Then BLOW AN 11 PT LEAD VS OREGON!
I mean, you say you were stupid when you were seven, but honestly if you hadn't picked Pitt the most likely alternative was getting pulled into the hideous Cult at Penn State. That's a fate that few deserve.
That's what happens when a college that's football team isn't much of the focus kills the momentum that the basketball program has. Exhibit A Syracuse and Exhibit B Connecticut. Great video Tree
We have plenty of lolcow things at penn state... the scandal mainly but sooo much more
Any chance of an Atlanta Braves video? Maybe Clemson University (we notoriously choke in baseball), we’re awful at basketball, but football hasn’t been bad in like 8 years though. I’m ready for the punishment.
I was honestly hoping you would talk about my Mountaineers 3 straight Big 12 title games, ALL lost...
They even beat Iowa State today
Thank you Scottie Reynolds for crushing all the hearts in Pittsburgh in 2009. Let's go Nova!
5 years later and things shows promise for Pitt basketball. They had a nice year and won a few games in March Madness. Hopefully they can build further.
CONGLATURATION VIRGINIA!!!
I've been describing this pain to my friends not from the area when we go to basketball games. This sums it up quite nicely.
Pitt is starting to comeback, now that they have a coach who knows what their doing. Leaving the Big East is what hurt Pitt in basketball. Pitt left the Big East when the program is at a high point, and it’s just not the same. I think is adjusting to ACC play.
And another GM too
I was always surprised that Pitt's successes in the Big East never made them a candidate for NBA expansion, something that I'm sure would've made plenty of young Yinzers want to take up basketball. Then again the Penguins nearly moved out of the city due to how old Civic Arena was so what the fuck do I know.

As someone who LOVES French history I loved the Louis XVI joke there.
Wow. I knew Pitt hadn’t been the same since the Big East collapsed but I didn’t know it was THIS bad
As a WVU fan who just watched us get outscored in the final 9 minutes by Kansas (YET A-FUCKING-GAIN), this is exactly what I needed to lift my spirits. Trashing Pitt's basketball team online myself helped, but to see someone from the city take a big, heaping, Cleveland Brown's style dump on their chest was exactly what I needed to bring me back up.
That said, since I assume you're a Pitt fan, when will we see A Couch Fire of Mediocrity: WVU Men's Basketball? Or The Air Raid that Never Left the Ground: WVU Men's Football? I'd love to see you do some college teams and no better team to follow up your own team with than their most bitter rival!
Conglaturations Virginia!! video in 3.......2........1..........
As a Syracuse fan this video gives me life.
On a real note though, ever since the Big East split a ton of former/current Big East programs are struggling now and it's unfortunate to see. Basketball giants like Pitt, Georgetown, UConn, Louisville, Notre Dame, and even Syracuse have fallen from their glory days in the old Big East (for the most part). God I miss the old Big East, so many memories.....
When will you do a legacy of failure for the Mariners?
Hey Tree, I recently posted your Oilers vid on a Hockey Podcast sub reddit, and I gotta tell you, the fucking Hockey community in Canada is in love with you. Good for you brother, keep up the good work.
You should do a haters guide of the final four of March madness

Wait til you hear about UMass basketball. We paid our coach more than the governor of Massachusetts but couldn't even win in the A10, and then when that coach left, half the team left too. They were about to hire a new coach, but he backed out of the job HALF AN HOUR BEFORE HIS INTRODUCTORY PRESS CONFERENCE. They hired a different guy, but they still finished 13th in the A10.
Our football program's an even bigger joke, too.
At least you have claim to Steven Adams
John DeCarlo I forgot he went there oh well
I find it sad that I remember a lot more about the disastrous Khem Birch year than the Steven Adams year.

I still remember that Pitt v Butler game. Shelvin Mack was unstoppable that entire tourney
Sometimes you take risks and it backfires. This is not one of those times. This is an athletic director running a program's winning culture to the ground so they can switch conferences. Do you think that they can adapt to the ACC or are they just fucked ten ways to Sunday? Shameful.
It wasn't really a risk for them. Pitt made the change for the revenue. That and football prestige. The latter hasn't really worked out so far.
UrinatingTree
But I said that this wasn't one of those times where you take a risk and it backfires. Regardless, thank you for replying. Glad to see the 129K hasn't stopped you from being down to earth with your viewers. For that, I respect you dearly.
Ah, well chalk that up for me not to paying enough attention.
Besides, this is just shitposting. No need for me to become arrogant over this sort of thing.
UrinatingTree
1: Yeah, everyone makes mistakes. Don't sweat it.
2: It may just be shitposting for you, but for some of your audience it's a whole lot more. Besides, I have seen channels become arrogant over much less, so it's nice to see a level headed RUclipsr like yourself and FivePoints make content that literally several dozens of thousands of people enjoy. Hell, if I hadn't come across you I wouldn't have uploaded videos on my channel. You've got this aura of inspiration that motivates little guys such as myself to keep on going, so that one day we can have success in our lives as well. That goes a lot further than just standard shitposting. So thank you Tree. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Really surprised we have not gotten a "Congrats Virginia" video yet
i never understood why people went apeshit for collegiate athletics. outside of being a student or having family alum there, i just don't get how people actually think it's more watchable than the professional sports, especially if you're never gonna go there or have no chance of going there. there's so little parity in college sports, the best high school athletes always choose the better school: in football, it's always schools like alabama, USC, FSU, wisconsin, and ohio state; in basketball, it's always villanova, UNC, kansas, indiana, and kentucky.
cheering for individual players, i get that, but it's really hard to cheer for a team unless your team is a goliath like the aforementioned schools.
Jake Delia it’s the the history and tradition... look up the Clemson’s Howard’s rock, Virginia techs enter sandman, Tennessee singing rocky top etc
Pro sports for me at least is watching a corporate empire who don’t care about the fans (fuck you spanos) in college you’re team is more fan run than most pro teams
It’s also easier to follow college football than other leagues because there’s only 12 games a year 15 maxim so for people who don’t want to watch a 100 game season + playoffs it’s appealing
Finally it’s the idea that every game matters than really makes people go crazy..... to make the playoffs even for a sec team you can’t have more than 1 loss that’s a lot of pressure on every game but the champions deserve it more than other leagues because they have to win at least 14 out of 15 games and the pool of 136 teams makes it a lot harder
yeah but the history and tradition is only special if you're a student or a previous student at that school, it just seems pointless to throw your voice for a school that doesn't want you
"there’s only 12 games a year 15 maxim so for people who don’t want to watch a 100 game season + playoffs it’s appealing"
the idea of having LESS football is actually very unappealing to me but to each of their own i guess
"to make the playoffs even for a sec team you can’t have more than 1 loss that’s a lot of pressure on every game but the champions deserve it more than other leagues because they have to win at least 14 out of 15 games and the pool of 136 teams makes it a lot harder"
precisely why i think collegiate athletics are bullshit, i never hear about underdogs in the NCAA, it's always the titans of every big conference making it to the championship games. at least with professional sports you can draft up and choose the most touted junior prospect but the most touted high school prospect can pass on your school no matter how bad and desperate your team is.
Jake Delia ummmmm not really I could name you countless teams that have made the conference championship that where not favorites........ the reason there’s a lack of parody is because of recruiting but once coaches leave that can change quickly.... it isn’t like pro sports where only certain teams can throw tons of money at players (dodgers) where other teams can’t do that...... in college every team has the same opportunity to be great because of recruiting
Talk to me about traditions when you go to the grove at ole miss and sailgating at Washington that will change your opinion on college sports
"in college every team has the same opportunity to be great because of recruiting"
yes but again it's all decided by whether or not the player wants to go there, everybody's criteria is basically based on geographic location and/or how well the school does in developing their players. there's also that things it where highly touted coaches want to go, and they're always gonna go for the school with the best reputation
"Talk to me about traditions when you go to the grove at ole miss and sailgating at Washington that will change your opinion on college sports"
it won't because i don't give a shit because i don't go to either school
although OU has a pretty extensive meteorology department so if i were to choose any school for anything it would be them i guess
Jake Delia then that shows how close minded you are I try to go to as many sports as possible
The Louis XVI treatment. You may want to trademark that, Tree. It's surprisingly funny, especially if you took a World History class at some point in your life.
DO MORE COLLEGE SPORTS
Hold up… the Pitt student section was called The Oakland Zoo?!?!
If Louisville doesn’t get a win in conference play this season, they’re easily in contention for a UrinatingTree video. The amount of shit that they have with their prestigious status just oozes with opportunity.
Next you have to do the Minnesota Wild: The state of mediocrity
The Minnesota Wild: Professional Hockey's Choked Barbecue
Minnesota Wild: The Blackhawks annoying little brother
The issue with Pitt is that it's a basketball school... and they tried to focus on football, which is always a terrible idea
"Why didn't I become an insufferable Penn State Fan?"
Well you have to balance out for being insufferable steelers fan somewhere.
You're totally right that Pittsburgh's not a hotbed for basketball prospects. It really cracks me up that much more knowing that a former classmate of mine at Mt. Lebanon High School, Jonny David, who actually was our school's all-time leading scorer was content to have played a total of 24 minutes for the Wild Cats through the end of what is now his junior season as opposed to playing a single minute for the Panthers.
do texas football next
I love these original videos. I think your best content is brand new material instead of old talking points.

hello im from UK whats big east and acc?
College sports conferences
hahahahaha
The Big East and ACC (Atlantic Coastal Conference) are conferences in the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association). Most teams in the Big East aren't very good in general or are only good because they're in a bad Conference. It's no surprise that when Pitt decided to move conferences, they lost their competitive edge, especially because the ACC is such a tougher conference.
Trey Magathan two number one seeds in the upcoming tournament. Arguably the toughest conference on college basketball rn.
Trey Magathan Xavier and villanova are solid
The Big East used to be the best college basketball conference in the sport. Think of it like the Premier League by you but all the teams are in the Northeast US. Some of the best programs in the sport are there or were there at one point.
Never knew UT was from Pitt, but it explains a lot of his Philly animosity

Patrick Stump I can confirm this. We suck balls.
so will west virginia fans
You ought to crack on other college teams that suck. Case in point, Kansas football. Seriously, the Jayhawks are the ultimate college football lolcow, and have been since firing Mark Mangino at the end of the 2009 season. They cemented this position last night when they "mutually parted ways with" head coach Les Miles following the revelation of allegations of sexual harassment during his time at LSU.
As someone living in Pittsburgh, I can confirm all of this. Thank god I am not a Pitt fan.
This is why I make fun of Yinzers. I know 2 that go to my high school.

A Yinzer is a "loyal" and sometimes hypocritical fan of any sports team in Pittsburgh.

Like how you still threw shade at Penn State at the end. Nice going.
Currently watching Virginia shit the bed against UMBC. Somebody check on Urinating Tree and make sure he hasn't had a heart attack. Holy shit.
You forgot to mention of how Scott Barnes used a search firm to hire Stallings. A search firm owned by his former boss who just so happened to be the AD at Vandy who just so happened to hire Stallings there.
The SeatGeek code is truly great. With it, I was able to experience my first Blue Jackets game last Thursday night. 2 tickets for $27. Great deal I highly recommend!!
As a Pitt alumni, it's a bummer to see the basketball program that was so great while I was a student, now reduced to such a sorry state. On the bright side: Regular students can now afford tickets, program isn't being investigated by the FBI, and unlike Penn State, children are actually safe on campus. Hail to Pitt.
I’m so glad I was brought up a West Virginia fan and not a Pitt fan
Our March madness brackets are ruined, RUINED
