Why is pitt an 8 seed

I would love to see what Blair can do to Tyler Hansbrough. And should they have to face UConn in the finals, we already know we can beat them. Of course, we know from years past that there are no gimmes in this tournament. Pitt better come out focused every night. Pitt is better than both OSU and Tennessee, but those are both teams that are capable of coming to play any night. Focus is key. Pitt already beat Florida St.

I would probably rather see Florida St. Who wants to play against a team coached by a Panther great? The real annoying thing is that almost every year just not last year , Pitt has had UCLA in their bracket. This year is no different. Shockers in the second round of the tournament. The two teams will meet on Thursday at p. If the Panthers advance to the third round, they will likely meet the No.

Pittsburgh is one of eight Big East teams to make the field, which qualifies as the most teams from any conference in the tournament. The Panthers join the No. As the No. The matchup between the Falcons and the Hawks will take place on April 29, and the victor will face the Panthers on May 2.

Although Pitt stumbled over the finish line and suffered a loss to Clemson on Saturday, it may have received the more advantageous seeding, as Clemson is now in the same region as defending national champions Georgetown, a No. The Huskies finished the season as the No.
