Downside - we already "on the bubble".
Upside - we are starting higher than last year as we weren't even mentioned.
42. Pittsburgh Panthers
With the splashy names in the ACC, it's easy to overlook Pitt sometimes. The Panthers finished fourth in the league last season, briefly challenged North Carolina in the ACC semifinals and then declined an invite to the NIT when they didn't get an NCAA tournament bid. They were picked to finish seventh in the league this season, but don't count out Jaland Lowe. If the sophomore point guard continues his production from last season, Pitt could be a frequent flier in bubble team conversations.
