They usually win early rounds when they dominate the league though, no?
Though I guess it depends on how you define that.  In 2011, they were a top seed, and lost in the second round to Butler, who is probably just as physical as they are.  
2010 they were a 3 seed, lost in the second round.
2009 they were a 1 seed, made the elite 8 and were one play away from the final four.  
2007 they were a 3 seed, lost in the sweet 16.  
2004 they were a 3 seed, lost in the sweet 16
2003 they were a 2 seed, lost in the sweet 16.  
2002 they were a 3 seed, lost in the sweet 16.
(Noticing a pattern?)
Those are most of the years they were really good in the league.  They usually made it past he first weekend.  Not to totally defend them or anything, since I'm not a big Pitt fan.  2's and 3's losing in the Sweet 16 isn't terrible, though you figure one year or two they'd break through and at least make the regional final.  
2009 and 2011 really hurt them; both of those games were really close.  They beat Nova in 2009 and at least they have a final four on their resume.
