I wonder if Pitt cracks the top 25 after this performance

I think Pitt outplayed the Zags and if the court conditions were normal, Pitt probably would have been up by 7 or 8.

Odd scenario. If we would've won the game, I think we're in the top 20 easily. Now that game doesn't count at all and we didn't play the second half, I'm sure the pollsters will totally overlook this game.

Not sure about that. Maybe Pitt won't crack the top 25 next week but I am pretty sure we'll get some votes. Heck, Pitt was LEADING the number 9 team in the country at the half. That should account for something in my opinion.

No. The record will show 0-0. No way a team jumps from 50 to under 25 without playing a game.

No, it won't. You have watched basketball games in the past. A small lead at the half means nothing as to what the result would be. If you lead at the half and lost by 1, you will not move up. Not much at least. First game and you are jumping the shark already.

Not a chance.

Maybe a few "others receiving votes" but that's it.

We will need to defeat Purdue to get into the Top 25.

The good news is we are playing D again. Pitt will play hard this year!

Yeah I agree with you. After thinking about it we probably just get some other receiving votes. Even though it was only 1 half I think anyone watching the game came away impressed by Pitt.

THAT I can agree with. But the voters won't care....good looking so far. Go Pitt!

As always, Pitt will be ranked #1 in my heart

There will be around 180 teams that look impressive for a half this year, bad teams leading at the half against a Kentucky or Duke ... means completely nothing in the big picture and in the minds and eyes of 99.99% of the people who are not us Pitt fans!
