Pitt 42 and with Butler and Akron the only 2 at large teams behind us with South Carolina at 69 (note they list all the AQs in the first 68, a majority of them falling after 45). Temple is 74, Vandy is 76, Cuse is at 78 and Monmouth is at 81. San Diego State is at 39 (Lunardi last 4 in) and St Marys is 35 (Last 4 out). Cincy and Valpo are 41 and 42 just ahead of Pitt.

Palm has Syracuse, Monmouth, Temple and Witchita as his last 4 in. We are now in 100 of the 102 brackets in bracketmatrix.

While I would be shocked if we didn't make it in, I could still sense a play-in game in Dayton against either South Carolina or perhaps Akron (even though I know they aren't given much of a shot).

I am hopeful (assuming we get in of course) that we avoid the dreaded 8/9 line (unless it's against VU which seems to have dropped to a 2) and get a 10. I would rather have a 10/11 with a play-in game than the 8/9 because we just don't match up against the #1 seeds.

In any case, it's one of my favorite days looking forward to the show.

Teamrankings.com has Pitt at a narrow 52% probability of making the tournament, which is somehow down from yesterday's 55%.

They're an outlier from everything I've seen, but if the committee wants to really, really reward midmajors this year, Pitt could be in trouble.
