Got screwed - play-in game!

So much for ‘the entirety of the season counts’ BS. That’s hogwash. If your computer numbers suck you’d better win a lot at season’s end or you get dunked on. Penn State to a 10 and us in 11 play in makes no sense if looking season long.

Don’t forget: Almost every year an 11 from the play in round makes at least the Sweet 16 if not further. Why not Pitt.
 
Pitt’s overall bracket isn’t bad if they can win some games. Seth Davis on CBS picked them to beat Miss St and then Iowa State on Friday and then get a game with Xavier over the weekend.
 
The first four is part of the tournament. There is no debate. This “hopefully they win one more to get into the tournament” is idiotic BS.

Correct. That loss was killer. Terrible failure at a terrible time. I think we all felt it at the time. Still didn’t expect to have to play in.
Wouldn't have had to if they played a respectable game against Duke. With NET focusing on margin of victory that blow out loss hurt Pitt badly.

If they lose I guess they were right !

Go Pitt !

I hear you but the easier task would have been to simply knock off the worst team in the league in the last week of the season. That loss had to resonate with the committee. The Duke blowout just reinforced the skepticism the ND loss created.
