    Dante Taylor spent four years at Pittsburgh trying to live up to sky high expectations.

    The former McDonald's All-American slogged through lengthy stretches of mediocre play, his production never quite matching the 6-foot-10 center's massive promise.

    Still, the player coach Jamie Dixon called "the best teammate we've ever had" found a way to provide an exclamation point to both his career and his team's final home game as a member of the Big East.

    Taylor's emphatic breakaway dunk in the final seconds of overtime closed out a 73-64 comeback victory over Villanova and gave Taylor and best friend Tray Woodall an emotional sendoff on Senior Day.
