The Pitt pitcher is throwing so hard he has already broken and replaced two pant belts. WOW. Never seen that before.

Kudos to him. We're going to need a lot of quality starts from him.
I looked at the live baseball RPI, which is meaningless but fun this time of year. BC is #1, Duke is #5 with the #2 SOS (the SOS is not completely insane), and Lamar jumped 227 spots into the top 10 by improving to 2-0.
