Hard work prevails

Pitt is a tournament team. But they won't get in. We had to win tonight to get in and we came up short. Hinson was invisible, mostly because of UNC's defense. And Leggett was also invisible. If it weren't for the 2 phenomenal freshman Pitt guards, we would have lost by 20+.
 
If it wasn't for Davis and Bacot North Carolina would have lost by 20+.
I feel bad for Lowe and Carrington. Who knows what their futures hold.
They both played above their years.
Basketball is a game of 5 men, usually the same teams win.
Break the cycle.
 
If we don't make it, I'll be sad.
If we don't make it and UVA, Seton Hall, Iowa, or Indiana State do, I'll be mad. The NET and Pomeroy for the first three there are not good!!
 
That last tidbit Joe. Lost me.


Because you don't know what their futures hold? Well one of them, if he wants to, will probably be spending next year playing in the NBA. And the other will be making good money playing college basketball, either here or somewhere else.

Why would you feel sorry for that?
 
I am pretty sure that if you were on the committee the tournament would only have about 18 teams this year.

😂. Well, the essence of being on the bubble is that you're at the mercy of the selection committee. So if you're on the bubble, you could be out.

I just think it's funny to hear fans of bubble teams rationalize why they SHOULD be in the tournament. I get that.

The tournament exists to crown a champion. And ultimately, it's not going to be a bubble team cutting down the nets. Most of them would be thrilled to make the Sweet 16 or Elite 8.

While I generally agree, do you think that the fans of bubble teams should rationalize why their team should NOT be in the field?
 
Still makes me sick that UVA is in even if they suck again tonight.

I am here and this is like watching the JV after the varsity. I take back what I said about UVa having the 2nd worst roster beind Louisville. No. Its the worst. Louisville runs this team in a pickup game in July. Bennett is incredible because this team absolutely blows.

No. I felt sorry for them because they played great but lost. The TEAM needed everyone and the 2 freshman showed they were the only stars for the most part. This was nothing financial.

Not at all.

I think some of the talk about Pitt DESERVING to be in over UVA isn't very rational, so I like to argue that point.

I have no sympathy for either team if they are left out.

But the most important thing to remember, is that for every team except one, it all ends in tears.
