Pitt starts a very difficult three game stretch and needs to win one of these three games. Pitt is tied for No. 28 in the latest ESPN version of the RPI rankings.
Pitt faces No. 7 Virginia Saturday followed by road trips to No. 17 Miami and No. 9 North Carolina. A win over No. 7 Virginia at home Saturday would go a long way to wrapping up a NCAA bid.
Pitt is currently a No. 7 or No. 8 seed in the bracket projections. Win and you move up. Lose and you are headed for the bubble.
Eleven teams have won at least 19 games in each season since 2004-05. Akron, Duke, Gonzaga, Kansas, Louisville, Michigan State, North Carolina, Ohio State, Pittsburgh, VCU and Wisconsin.
Beat Virginia and the odds are very good Pitt extends this streak.
