10PM ET Thursday night update, scan down to the brackets--Pitt still at 7, playing VCU and winner plays most likely Miami, then the Hoopies could be the opponent in the Sweet 16. http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/bracketology
Thursday night's late update from Palm/CBS
- Thread starter California Panther
- Start date
If that is even close to where Pitt is on the bracket right now, they are lock even without another win, probably wouldn't even fall to Dayton.
No question, and I don't necessarily think Palm is right, but he's very good at this, and given his seed projection, the projection that Pitt was a 7 seed by the media (After the UNC game no less), I think we may be overthinking Pitt's bubble odds a bit.
Personally, I think Pitt is 100% in with one more win, 90% with no more wins.
Bracket matrix still had us as an 8 seed after the loss, but I'm wondering how many bracketologists updated their brackets in that time. We could very well be in without another win.
Let's just beat Georgia Tech and leave no doubt.

Although I doubt that will be exactly how it plays out, I thought the NCAA committee avoided having possible second round match ups between conference opponents.
Maybe, I'm not Jewish. If it is, maybe we need to put some lamb blood on the Pete, just in case.
I'd assume he's projecting us to beat GTech and win 1 in ACC tournament.
-which is why losing to VTech didn't have an impact, after Duke, prob figured "Pitt will win 2 more before the NCAA"

Even Lunardi has us as a 9-seed after the loss (barely dropped a line). My guess is that Pitt winds up as a play-in game in Dayton if they lose out.
That said, yeah, preferable to not leave anything to chance. If things get crazy in Conference tourneys, Pitt could be in serious trouble.
