ACC getting sh*t on nationally thx to UVA

No doubt they would have. I will stop short of saying Pitt would have won that game though after watching CSU’s 2 bigs just bullying the hell out of UVA’s sorry front court. Pitts bigs aren’t much better than UVAs, and they’re every bit as soft.
That's why I said "fight". Hard to know whether Pitt would beat CSU, but it wouldn't have been a 25 pt loss. If memory serves we barely escaped Dayton last year with some late game heroics
If they make the tournament next year, will you stop posting? I need something to look forward to.
Let’s not. I hope for and expect Clemson to be one and done.
Ive got a job for Bennett coaching my team any time he wants it.
Great coach, career-bad roster. It’s that simple.
Better teams? Hell they don’t have the bigs to match up with a lot of the lesser teams. See CSU last night for example.
1) sad life
2) this place would be a ghost town without me. I drive traffic
3) odds are forever in my favor
That's irrelevant. Just because Virginia didn't deserve a bid, doesn't necessarily mean Pitt did.
Every first round game isn't necessarily a referendum on the selection committee. When Pitt was blown out in a the first round by Wichita State, in what I believe was an 8/9 game, does that mean Pitt was seeded to high?
That Pitt team was 24-8 and had some nice wins over top 25 teams.
You can make a reasonable case for other teams over Pitt. You cannot make one for Virginia. Their overall schedules were very similar when you factor in UVa's ACC SOS was very weak. And Pitt has better wins, better, metrics, and a head to head.
Geez - You are one angry gym teacher.
Anyone that watches a lot of college basketball and doesn't think that Pitt was at least playing like an 8/9 seed for the past two months simply doesn't know what they are watching. UVA got blown out plenty of times in the "pathetic" ACC and undeservingly hobbled onto the brackets. One loss does nothing to tarnish the leagues weak reputation espoused upon it by Big Pretend mouth pieces despite it continuously being repeated by small time mouth breathers. Those that watch the game professionally know that top to bottom, the ACC is as good as any by March. Not every year and maybe not this year, but most.

No idea what that means. Best day of the year. Couldn't be less angry
As if being a gym teacher is an insult. I wish I would've become a gym teacher. I'd kill for summers' off, despite the paycut. What an odd thing to say.

I vaguely remember that he either didn't like Jamie Dixon, or he liked Dixon and didn't like the way Pitt forced him out. My memory isn't so good as I get older.
Goodman is just a clown and his only useful role is ragging on the bigger clown, Dan Dakich.
Dont always agree but you generally provide good discussion points to think about. Thats what makes the board interesting. If we all had the blue and gold shades on all the time it would get boring.
I personally think Pitt got screwed and that this team is at least as good or better than last years team. I think this years team was improving because the young pups were improving. Last year, I think Burton tried to do too much to carry the team and it hurt the overall team performance. Both teams provided entertaining basketball for sure.
And to your point, yes if Pitt beats the cuse or pulls out the game against Clemson and or Miami, they are in.
