Pitt has lost to 7 final four teams during the tournament since 2003

[Pitt2006]

Have we really underachieved? Yes there have been some frustrating losses, but as a whole, maybe it was just a bad combination of bad match ups as 7 of the teams we lost to went on to reach the final four:

2003 Marquette
2004 Oklahoma State
2007 UCLA
2009 Villanova
2011 Butler
2013 Wichita State
2014 Florida

Teams we lost to with lower seeds that lost their next game:
2002 Kent State (10 seed) to 5 seed Indiana
2006 Bradley (13 seed) to 1 seed Memphis
2008 Michigan State (5 seed) to 1 seed Memphis
2010 Xavier (6 seed) to 2 seed Kansas State

Teams we lost to with higher seeds than us:
2005 Pacific (8 seed)
2016 Wisconsin (7 seed)

Interesting poster name/thread topic combination.
Maybe we should be discussing Steven Adams dropping the ball while rolling to the hoop, the London Olympics, and The Dark Knight Rises.
