- #5 overall seed
- host Northern Illinois/Oakland winner Sunday. NIU won a decent soccer league (MAC) over WVU and Akron, the only 2 teams to beat a fully healthy Pitt team so I don't love that early round game but at home, they should win
- will likely play #12 Penn State in the Sweet 16. My God, start installing the portable bleachers. They could get 5000 for that game if the weather is ok. Pitt beat PSU 1-0 at their place in scoreline that didn't reflect the game. Pitt, if healthy, is significantly better.
- May have to travel to #4 Notre Dame in the Elite 8. They beat us twice when we were missing several key players. If fully healthy, we will win. If Petkovic doesn't play, we will not.
