And they really did fold last night, like a cheap suit. You could see it go out of their eyes, at which point they just started jacking up shots from wherever they were on the floor.I'm quite sure we will see a war at Pitt, but if SU can create an edge by midway in the second half, perhaps we'll see Pitt fold as they did against Duke.
@ UNC and home against us. Without those two wins they are looking at a pretty weak seed.
We need to be ready for a war at Pitt.
UNC this season is a good win only due to the UNC brand.
Maybe Pitt just really isn't that good. They always play us tough, and their system is perfect against the zone, so we overestimate them. But after playing an embarrassingly poor OOC schedule, they've really only played three tough games this season, and they've lost all three of them.
I'll believe it when I see it.Pitt is good. I think they're a 2nd weekend team this year, which for them is an accomplishment.
Pitt has 0 wins against the top 50 in the RPI. They are 0-3 in top 50 games they are closer to being an 8-9 seed based on their resume than a 4-5 seed. Pitt has some talent on this roster, but Jaime Dixon's scheduling really has them behind the 8-ball.
Go back and look at our 2006-2007 season. We got absolutely snubbed by the committee, but we didn't have many good non-conference wins we lost to Drexel, Wichita State, Oklahoma State and went 10-6 in the Big East and didn't make the Tournament.I posted that last night thinking they were around a 7/8 seed right now. Resume is very weak and they opertunities are getting less and less. I do want them to beat Virginia though because it helps us just like Duke winning last night was good.

Basically Pitt lost to Cincinnati instead of Oklahoma State at the Garden, but instead of playing good mid-majors at home like Drexel/Wichita State they scheduled crap and are ranked. Pitt shouldn't feel like a lock honestly as I don't know whom they have beat that is a sure fire Tournament team yet.
Duke's 13-25 3 point shooting had more to do with Pitt losing than Pitt folding.I'm quite sure we will see a war at Pitt, but if SU can create an edge by midway in the second half, perhaps we'll see Pitt fold as they did against Duke.

Drexel was snubbed on selection Sunday and was one of the reasons I thought SU could be in trouble and didn't make it.Did Drexel make the tournament that year? I can't remember, but they were a bubble team. Also Wichita State was ranked when we played them and everyone still went nuts about losing to a lower tier team.
