I know its 4 games vs 4 mid-major/low-majors but we've all been watching college basketball/Pitt basketball long enough to know what we're watching. Besides your blue bloodish types, this Pitt team is about as complete as you can be:
PG - NBA guy next year
SG - People were offended when I said Leggett wasnt Burton like it was some sort of insult. That's a high standard. However, he's shown he's Burton-ish. Can shoot ok (not great, kinda like Burton), and can create his own getting into the lane and finishing, like Burton. I thought Leggett would be good, but he's better than I thought
SF - Austin/Jeffress - D and Rebound - they know their role ane are happy with it. Would like to get more offense here but we arent Kansas
PF - Hinson - elite shooter/scorer that every good team needs
C - Fede/GDG - great post D, rebounding, and can give you some offense
Bench
Jorge and Lowe are ACC-level bench guys who give you different things
Not going to predict the Sweet 16 because anything can happen in a random tournament but this is a Sweet 16-level team. Barring injuries or suspensions, this team has a chance to be really good and be playing as a Top 4 seed at PPG Paints. However, if that's the stretch goal, they need to win these next 3. Then we will know we may have something special.
