 Texas C Dexter Pittman
Up to the minute news about the Texas Longhorns from GoTeamsGo. We'll find the latest Texas Longhorns news so you can chat about here. Quote: UT freshman shedding pounds to get more playing time
Fort Worth Star Telegram, TX - 15 hours ago
AUSTIN - Dexter Pittman breaks a sweat long before the Texas Longhorns hit the basketball court.
The beefy center who is part of Texas' celebrated freshman class is on a mission to drop more than 100 pounds off his 6-foot-10 frame, and that means diet, extra exercise and hitting a stationary bike for 30 minutes before a game.
"I feel like Lance Armstrong right now," Pittman said. "My teammates call me Dex Armstrong because I'm on the bike so much."
They also call him Dex-A Trim.
"Ya'll don't see him before the game," said A.J. Abrams, a guard who stands only 5-10 and weighs 150. "He's got a full sweat on."
Everything Pittman's doing is working. He weighed 388 pounds after his last high school basketball game. Before Tuesday night's 90-50 win over Texas Southern, he was down to 295.
