1927–28 Pittsburgh Panthers men's basketball team

The 1927–28 Pittsburgh Panthers men's basketball team represented the University of Pittsburgh during the 1927–28 NCAA men's basketball season in the United States. The head coach was Doc Carlson, coaching in his sixth season with the Panthers. The team finished the season with a 21–0 record[1] and was retroactively named the national champion by the Helms Athletic Foundation and the Premo-Porretta Power Poll (the Panthers would receive retroactive recognition as the Helms national champion for the 1929–30 season as well).[2][3] It is the only undefeated team in Pitt's history, and that season they were one of only two teams to finish with an unblemished record.[4] Chuck Hyatt and Sykes Reed were named consensus All-Americans at the end of the season.

gollark: I'm comparing it to USB-A for point 4.
gollark: <@!111608748027445248> - Too many different things over identical looking physical connectors: a "USB-C" port might support power-delivery *input*, power-delivery *output*, Thunderbolt, two different incompatible kinds of video output, and various speeds from USB 2.0 to USB 3.2 Gen2x2 (whyyy).- The ports on devices can end up wearing out problematically, though I don't know if this is better or worse than on competitors like Lightning or µUSB.- A lot of peripherals still don't support it, though this is hardly *its* fault.- I think the smaller connector means you can't put as much weight on it safely, for bigger USB stick-y devices, though I am not sure about this.
gollark: Eh. Sort of. It has its own problems.
gollark: Also, it's USB-C, so you'll need a cable for that.
gollark: You might also have instability of various kinds.
