They're running out of ways to crap the bed to lower-seeded teams in the tourney.

At some point, just making the tourney isn't enough... it's not like this is some podunk school where earning the right to lose by 30 to the top seed is an acceptable goal... I don't expect Pitt to compete for the NC on a regular basis, but it would be nice to not see them lose to a lower seed for once.

The 2 biggest disappointments to me were the loss in 09 to Villanova when they could have reached the final four (granted, they were likely going to get stomped by UNC anyway, but still disappointing) and the Butler debacle. That was by far the most favorable bracket they are likely to see and they found a way to blow the game in a fashion only Pitt could accomplish.
But I suppose I should just smile and pretend they aren't going to disappoint us again come March.

both. im not a pitt guy, but as ive said earlier in the season, this team is decent. if they can get their FT% up, they are a sweet 16 team. i think thats where they max out...which is a great season, no matter how they play against that sweet 16 team.
