I have hope this team is tourney bound. It’s the most excited I’ve felt since 2011. With that said, we all want a lengthy tourney run. But keep in mind the common fallacy of equating a higher seed this year to more success. For example, even if we get a 5 seed, we would statistically be expected to make the round of 32. It would certainly be a much more favorable matchup to advance, but we would really need a 4 seed or better to “expect” them to make the sweet 16. 9 out of the top 25 teams will not make the sweet 16. We fail to realize this and sort of took it for granted in years Pitt faltered. There is a chance this team can be better than last year and with 3 point shooting they certainly could make a run, but equaling a round of 32 should not be a failure if they don’t have a 4 seed or higher.
