And as El Moldo pointed out, I'm not sympathetic to poor free throw shooting after the years of Pitt losing games on the line.

Oh neither am i. Im just stating pitt really had a really bad game last night. One that probably puts them on the bubble and makes cuse a must win

[El-Moldo]

After tonight, with the nation's number 3,4 and 5 ranked teams going down, I feel even BETTER about Pitt's win last night. Anything can happen. And Iowa joined the Bad Loss club.

Penn State has won more against ranked teams than Pitt....

Which isnt helping pitts case

[Crimson's Ghost]

Out of curiosity, case for what?

[konjo78]

A tourney bid

[El-Moldo]

Pitt ALSO doesn't have that BAD LOSS. There was NO loss like to Radford at home this year.

New bracketology today on ESPN, Pitt in last 4 teams in without a play-in game. Game Saturday at Syracuse is HUGE. With Syr, Louisville, Duke, VT, GT left, I personally think they need to win 1 of next 3 and win last 2 to be in when conference tournaments start

[konjo78]

They need to be over .500 in ACC play these next games or they will be an outside looking in bubble team.

Probably worst loss is 17 pts to NC state. Actually most of pitt losses to teams are very blowout like. In ACC pitt losses are by 18, 17, 13, 14, 2 and 21

[Crimson's Ghost]

Pitt needs to go 3-2 down the stretch basically.

Pitt has one bad loss and some blowout losses, the tournament committee doesn't take into account margin of defeat. They don't reward close losses so they don't punish blowout losses. Just how it goes.
