Pittsburgh Panthers (4-0)

Pittsburgh-Texas Preview

(AP) -- A deep, balanced attack has helped Texas live up to its billing during a dominating start, and the third-ranked Longhorns will be rewarded with a tournament title if they can get one more victory.

The season hasn't begun in quite the same fashion for Pittsburgh, but the rebuilding Panthers will try to pull off an upset over Texas in Tuesday's CBE Classic final in Kansas City.

A loaded roster combining seniors Damion James and Dexter Pittman with one of the nation's best recruiting classes earned the Longhorns (3-0) their lofty early rank, and they've lived up to the hype with a trio of victories by at least 25 points. (MORE)
