Okay Now I am getting really nervous about Pitt making the tournament

[PittPoker]

Lunardi's new bracket has Pitt as a 10 seed along with St. Marys(split) and says they are 1 of the 4 "last teams in"

What is going on?

So if Pitt loses to UNC is he gonna be running his mouth and projecting Pitt to be out? What is up with this guy? I mean we beat Syracuse and he made us in worse shape.

CHILL

Lunardi gets no seeds right .. Ever

 

[Scruffy the Panther]

On bracket matrix 94 of 98 have us in. The best bracketologist has us as a 9 seed. Relax.

 

[JD1976]

Lunardi really has been bagging on Syracuse ALOT so I don't think he values the 3 wins over them as much as some.

 

[Pittx9]

If we can't get above an 8 seed, I think a 10 is our best bet. We really, really, really want to avoid the 8/9 game and a possible second round game with a 1 seed. Also I think we're in regardless of what happens today.

Good thing Lunardi doesn't set the brackets.

I sort of agree, but wouldn't you LOVE to have a shot at Villanova in the second game?

Well if they are the 1 seed in our region.... then hell yeah!!!!

Why would you be nervous. You've already told us how tired you are of watching this team.

Seriously though, we should be in. Should have beat the techs and we wouldn't even be having this discussion. Very disappointing.

 

[Pittx9]

I'm sorry but it is a complete joke that Wisconsin is a projected lock and we are projected last 4 in.

1 of the Techs and we wouldn't be having this discussion.

We beat ESPN's home team---that is why there is all the press about the travel and the bubble. If we beat VT or Clemson, we would not be hearing this............

Interesting that there were some here (not you) who were getting all over Dixon saying how we caught both Techs playing their best ball. After yesterday, I have to agree. The Hokies look inspired and re: GT, any team that comes back down 18 in the 2nd half not on their home court deserves praise. Just food for thought.

 

[Pitt79]

Who cares? If we lose today, and we are down only four at half to the ACC #1 seed, so that's not a given, we'll be 21-11, 10-10 vs. ACC competition. If that's not good enough, there is something wrong with the system-TOO MUCH THINKING- and I don't care what happens.

 

[VAPanther91]

You missed my point. My reference to the Techs was not an indictment on their quality of play. My reference to the Techs was in regards to media coverage. My point was that I have never seen so much media coverage regarding a travel that did not clearly exist and the reason is Syracuse's presence at ESPN.
There are so many Syracuse media people at ESPN that are not capable of being objective.
The media couldn't give two beans about VT basketball and only half a bean about GT hoops.

It can't go both ways------how can 3 wins over Syracuse not mean much but Syracuse remains a bubble team?

Agree. Even losing today, there is no way there are enough at-large teams out there more deserving than Pitt. That kind of record in the best conference is almost a guarantee.

He literally just said the same thing.

Yes you would still b!tch about something.
