How did the game their non conference schedule? They played Texas A&M, Wisconsin, Florida, and Memphis.Totally disagree. But Im not sure you are even really a Pitt fan so I'm not really interested in debating it. Check out the sheets. The only metric they have better than us is Net Non conference schedule rating. We beat them everywhere else. St Johns does as well. Believe me they are a very unimpressive tournament team. But hey they gamed their non conference schedule so kudos to them.
Their OOC resume has 2 pretty good wins in there. Pitt's doesn't, and it has one horrible loss. And you don't need any computer metric to see UVA finished 3rd in the ACC, while Pitt finished 4th.
I agree that they aren't an impressive tournament team. They shouldn't even be there, imo. And they won't be for long.
Here's a question for you: Once you get past Duke, what was Pitt's most impressive win during the regular season? Answer that and you see the problem with Pitt's resume.
