Senior forward will work as a point forward at time in Stallings new offense; F Michael Young. Senior forward has been model of consistency during his career. Will be given freedom to expand his offensive game beyond the back-to-the-basket basics that carried him to 15.7 points, 6.8 rebounds per game last season. F Cameron Johnson, has the length (6-foot-8) to be effective on both ends but needs to get stronger to avoid getting banged around.Whos new: Stallings. The longtime Vanderbilt coach left the Commodores after 17 years to replace Jamie Dixon, who bolted after a largely successful run with the Panthers to coach at TCU, his alma mater. G Justice Kithcart. Freshman stuck with his commitment after Jamie Dixon left for TCU and gives the Panthers someone who can push the pace. C Rozelle Nix. Big fella (6-foot-11, 300 pounds) redshirted last year but if the Panthers want Young to play away from the basket, having Nix provide productive minutes in the middle would help.The Skinny: Stallings and athletic director Scott Barnes both said the deciding factor on the hire was their shared belief Pitt has the tools to make it to the Final Four.

Vancouver Whitecaps and Toronto FC failed to make the postseason while Montreal Impact fell at the first hurdle losing heavily to Houston Dynamo in the Eastern Conference Knockout Round.DENVER -- The Vancouver Whitecaps certainly arent ready to hit the panic button. They realize, however, that they let an opportunity get away on Saturday night as they lost 2-0 to the Colorado Rapids and dropped in the Western Conference standings. "Obviously tonight was a chance to really put Colorado in a really tough spot because were running out of games," Whitecaps head coach Martin Rennie said. "What it does, it keeps everybody in it and keeps it really interesting." Coming into the night, Colorado and Vancouver were tied for second place in the jam-packed conference. The Rapids now have sole possession of second place. The Whitecaps slipped all the way to fifth with the Los Angeles Galaxy and Portland Timbers also picking up wins and passing them. "Definitely it was an opportunity tonight to cement a place in the playoffs, come to a tough place against a good team," Whitecaps forward Kenny Miller said. The Whitecaps, however, were unable to keep the momentum going after picking up four points (1-0-1) in their previous two games. Colorado keeper Clint Irwin helped stop that momentum. He saw just three shots on goal -- stopping them all -- but also made solid plays to halt other Vancouver chances. "The man of the match tonight was their goalkeeper and probably rightly so," Rennie said. "We had three or four great chances. We had one when it was nil-nil that was a great opportunity. We had another at nil-nil and in the end we lost a bad goal which changed the game a little bit." The game-changing goal came in the 36th minute, when the Rapids Deshorn Brown scored on a header. Vicente Sanchez lofted a crossing pass to Brown, who tucked the ball inside the left post, just above the head of Whitecaps keeper Daviid Ousted.dddddddddddd Rennie said the Whitecaps lost Brown on the back side and it was an easy crossing pass for the Rapids. "We havent lost many goals like that, which is a good thing," he said. Browns goal came just two minutes after the Whitecaps best scoring chance of the night. Russell Teibert delivered a pass to Miller, but Irwin was there for the save. "I tried to angle it back across the goal so (teammate Camilo Sanvezzo) could tap it in," Miller said. "I think the keeper got a left leg on it to stop it going past. We had a couple of opportunities like that where we could have maybe played someone and the pass just wasnt there." The Rapids added an insurance goal in the 80th minute as substitution Edson Buddle drilled a shot that deflected off the inside part of the legs of Whitecaps defender Johnny Leveron. That deflection was enough to change the direction of the shot and get it past Ousted. Miller said the Whitecaps have had a lot of games this year in which theyve rallied to get a win or draw, but against the Rapids, he said, "There didnt seem to be that reaction and that belief that we could do it." Rennie added: "Id like to have seen us be more direct and put them under more pressure." Colorado tallied 17 shots, five of those on net, while the Whitecaps had just nine shots, with three on net. Still, with 10 games to play -- including the last two against the Rapids -- and weekly movement in the standings, the Whitecaps said they simply need to bounce back against the Galaxy on Aug. 24 at B.C. Place. "Its an off night," Miller said. "Weve not had too many off nights in the last three, four months, so well just have to regroup and make sure were back next week." ' ' '
