FAU #8

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

That ought to end any doubts early, lol. Especially going against NW, which was another some speculated might not be in.

Yeah, definitely was demoralizing hearing those 2 names back to back, not to mention as 8 & 9 seeds.

 

[Pitt666]

Unless they value that road win at Zona. ISU getting dinged for NCsos is all but assured for Pitt to go to NIt.

 

[Pitt2009]

No ACC in that region. Not a good start.

 

[HailToPitt725]

Texas A&M, who was supposedly on the bubble, is a 9 seed… is that good or bad for us?

 

[NCanton Panther]

And now Texas A&M gets a 9 too.

Three teams we were maybe competing with and they go in with 8 & 9 seeds

 

[Pitt666]

Only one bracket matrix had them as an 8.

 

[HailToPitt725]

Boise State was one of the last four in, and they’re going up against Colorado who also made it from the bubble.

 

[Protes]

2 ACC teams in the South. You'd think 1 in each of the 2 remaining regions?

 

[Blair_45]

Colorado Boise State first four that eliminates 2 of the first four ugh.

Not good news with NW, FAU and TXAM all getting in. They’re all just getting higher seeds because of all the bid stealers.

 

[Pitt2009]

Boise State as a play-in could be good for us. Means some MWC like Colorado State might get bounced.

We’ll find out in an hour because of these commercials…

 

[Pitt666]

Colorado Boise State first four that eliminates 2 of the first four ugh.

Boise State being low is good. MwC not getting 6.

 

[Gep Dawg]

A ten seed play in game and so far all the other 10, 11, and 12 seeds are auto qualifiers. Very strange

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Thinking we might be next four out. Feels like we needed two more wins after this week's bubble activity. Could be wrong.

Even Duke being a 4 kind of waters down our best win.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Didn't South Carolina lose to Coppin State as a 2 in Pittsburgh back in the day?

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Whomp, there it isn't. Virginia got the token 4th ACC bid.

Haha, they suck.

 

[Blair_45]

You gotta be kidding me Virginia got in you gotta be ****ing kidding me.

 

[LGP1989]

Virginia being in is a joke.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

A ten seed play in game and so far all the other 10, 11, and 12 seeds are auto qualifiers. Very strange

That's because of the number of bid stealers.

 

[HailToPitt725]

With Virginia making it in, I think it’s safe to say we’re not going to make it in.

 

[Pitt666]

Yep that’s the deathblow.

 

[Blair_45]

How does Virginia get in over Pitt please explain that to me when Pitt beat them head to head and their NET was much better.

 

[NCanton Panther]

Well that seals it. The one real result to really have a justifiable reason to be mad, UVA in instead of Pitt.

 

[Gep Dawg]

Virginia in despite us beating them on the road, having same or better metrics and getting as far and playing way better in ACCT.

 

[pittbb80]

Whomp, there it isn't. Virginia got the token 4th ACC bid.

Haha, they suck.

Travesty that they are in over Pitt.

 

[Cmart2004]

Lame

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

UVA over Pitt is F’in BS

 

[Sam Young 23]

💯. I'd like to hear the reasoning

 

[Gep Dawg]

If Pitt doesn’t make it in I think I might be done with college sports. I love it but the NCAA and CFP and how the select teams for the playoffs is a complete disgrace and is soul sucking to so many college athletes and their fans.

 

[OhioPanther99]

💯. I'd like to hear the reasoning

That won't likely help

 

[Protes]

Looks like NC State winning the ACCT may well be the reason we are likely out.

 

[Cmart2004]

How is Clemson a 6 seed?

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Getting mad over Virginia being in only makes sense if we're the first team out. Doubt we are.

Who else was left out? St. John's, Seton Hall, Providence, Indiana State, etc....

 

[Blair_45]

Yep that’s a wrap. NIT bound sucks

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Dayton a seven might be even dumber than FAU as an eight.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

They keep saying the committee wasn't feeling the Mountain West... but I see a lot of Mountain West teams in.

 

[HailtoPitt]

How is Clemson a 6 seed?

We are seeing the future pecking order of the NCAA at work.

 

[King Of All Message Boards]

Didn't South Carolina lose to Coppin State as a 2 in Pittsburgh back in the day?

Yes

 

[Blair_45]

NC State, Oregon, Temple and Duquense winning the other night over Dayton is what knocked Pitt out. Had none of those happened Pitt is probably barely in. They still got screwed big time.
