By Benton SmithMarch 8, 2017KANSAS CITY, MO. — In Jamie Dixon’s heyday at Pittsburgh, the head coach regularly guided the Panthers to the NCAA Tournament, often had them ranked in the top 25 and won 20-plus games almost every season.From 2004 to 2013, Dixon also helped Pitt basketball become somewhat synonymous with the grueling Big East Tournament, reaching the finals four times and winning it in 2008. It’s a tradition the first-year TCU coach would like to bring with him to the Big 12’s postseason showcase.Dixon revealed that goal after his Frogs defeated Oklahoma, 82-63, Wednesday night at Sprint Center, setting the stage for a quarterfinal meeting with his new conference’s traditional powerhouse, Kansas, on Thursday (approximately 1:30 p.m., ESPN2).
