Wow! If NC St beats UNC!

NC State's run here has been pretty unbelievable.
Pitt and UVA are NIT bound. What a weekend of conference upsets. Especially the SEC with most of the top seeds in that dirt bag conference exiting early like they could care less.
A lot of irony in this.
Harrison Ingram was talking a lot of garbage after yesterdays win over Pitt saying he was better than all of our players and they couldnt score on him and a bunch of other noise.
NC State is shooting almost 60% in this game. He should have kept his mouth shut. Oh the irony in this if they go down.
Ingram is also shooting 2-8 in this game.
Maybe the ACC can get 5 bids? NCSt, UNC, Duke, Clemson and Pitt if NCSt's run puts Pitt's NET at 38?
I'm glad NCState is taking it to UNC for their arrogance. We know we're not in the NCAAT field. May as well root for these upsets and teams we've beaten to beat a top seed. It doesn't appear that UNC is exactly all that unbeatable after all. Not #1 seed material. Even if UNC comes back and wins, they're not in that top seed line.
Our chances torpedoed due to that lucky ass NC State 3-pointer last night. Unreal.
If that turns out to be the case, UVA's meltdown last night, which allowed NC State to make it into tonight's championship game, will have pushed both of us out of the tournament.
They are still one of the teams that has a chance to win it all. Other than UCONN, every potential #1 seed went down in their tourney. Some of them crashed hard.
UNC 1-14 to finish this game, it's absurd how snakebit we were this week.
Hard to believe it was only 7 days ago that Pitt took down NC State.
This all started because Clemson decided not to show up against BC. They should have been the ones to eliminate UVA in the QFs. The bottom half of the ACC bracket blew up when Clemson and Duke couldn’t win a single game. We needed Duke and Clemson to meet in the semis.
It’s really amazing how many locks just mailed it in in their conference tourneys.

UVA had been in all along. The window would have still been open even if just a little. This shuts it completely.
Dan Gavitt was interviewed earlier saying that most of the field was set and that they would just move teams down if there were bid stealers. I’m not sure NC State is really going to help at this point.
Yeah, let's get real here. Pitt is not going to the NCAAT. They deserve to go and are better than at least 10 that are going, but it is what it is. We'll be a top seed in the NIT and a good possibility of winning it all, if the team that played the last 2 weeks shows up. That's the big question now.
Unreal how snakebit Pitt has been today. I still think they should be in and hopefully they still are but as close as they were to the cut line with NC State winning tonight, FAU losing today to a terrible Temple team , and Dayton going out to Duquense the other night might just be too much for Pitt to overcome.
The number of true at large teams is probably 6 lower than it should be due to teams stealing bids. Unreal. We are lucky this didn’t happen last year or we wouldn’t have enjoyed winning 2 games.
This all started night after we beat Wake. We didn’t really even get an entire day to relish what should have been a tournament clinching win.

Some of you guys could talk yourselves into a leg amputation being a good thing because it will allow you to shed some unwanted pounds.
NC State winning did not do Pitt any favors. At all.

And this also shows that Pitt could have beaten UNC yesterday with just one competent big man.
Could have been so much better with just one guy like a Diarra who is long, lean, quick, a quick leaper and likes to defend and rebound.
It was the nail in Pitt’s tournament coffin. IT bound for sure now, so the 2 posters that preferred a possible NIT championship over a one and done in the tournament can celebrate.
Is someone actually suggesting the NCSU win was a good thing for Pitt?
PittSatan, a few posts above mine, is one. Not picking on anyone - just pointing out that such posts exist.
When a team is on the bubble, there really isn't such a thing as a tournament clinching win until the conference tournament championship game.
