Bubble: What would our best argument be
- Thread starter zkkautter
- Start date
Pitt picked 14th preseason in ACC and Capel was ACC coach of the year. H2P
The easiest argument is that the biggest drawbacks on our resume (aside from FSU and ND) are huge losses to Michigan and West Virginia, and a slow start with 4 losses before conference play. The reality is that that portion of the resume is a completely different team, both in style and construct with Hugley gone. The hope is that the Committee would recognize that with consideration to how it drags our metrics down.
I think the road wins at NC State, North Carolina, and Northwestern as you mentioned are good enough to make a strong case for Pitt to make it in.
VCU has zero Q1 wins.
22 of their wins are Q3/Q4.
They aren't getting in if they lose today.
I believe the committee has already slotted the Dayton/VCU winner as a 12 or 13 seed and the loser out.
We developed the Polio Vaccine.

All at home. How are they even in the convo?
NC State

Both at home. 1 Q1 win. I have them out.

Not sure I agree or if that by itself is enough. Because the teams we’re competing against can say the same thing, particularly considering road+neutral as opposed to just road.
No, that's bad. 40% of the population would refuse to take the polio vaccine if it was developed today, lol.
Well … I now think the polio vaccine and ending are suffering are better answers anyway!! Lol
As someone mentioned, 89 has the best argument for.
Our several bad losses, and the manner/deficit we lost many games, are against. The general poor way we started the season, and then ended it, are bad for those who are influenced by one or both of those.
For entertainment factor, we are the Anti-Dixon. No defense, no rebounding, no patience, fling up indiscriminate 3s. In this day and age this seems to be considered entertaining.
One wildcard factor that one partly mentioned above is the early adversity at losing Hugley (as well as Dior). That would be cripple many teams before they even left the gate. We persevered and occasionally excelled.
