The Big 10 is a lot better than the ACC, at least.

Last year Wake Forest went 23-8 with a 13-7 conference record and ended up an NIT 2 seed. Michigan on the other hand went 17-13 with an 11-9 conference record and made it without even having to play in Dayton. Made the Sweet 16.

Also Notre Dame last year: 22-9 (15-5). Dayton. Made a nice run though.

Sure it was last year, but these are some things should scare Pitt fans. And yes, the bubble is crowded and some teams still need to pass them, but the committee views them and the ACC in such a negative light that they have a much shorter leash. They may put up a good fight but I don’t see them winning tomorrow, but they could win at least 1 of their conference tournament games. And they better, or they might be playing in the NIT.

One more thing you’re not going to like to hear - if PSU beats Maryland at home this weekend and wins a game in their conference tournament while Pitt loses out, which is very possible, PSU will be in and Pitt *probably* out.

That's hilarious. Pitt can beat Purdue and I'd like to see it.

You’re just trying to scare Pitt fans because last year, ifs, buts, because Pitt, etc.. Pitt isn’t going anywhere in the tournament and PSU will still be lucky to get in, but should that happen, they’re certainly going nowhere.

Awesome environment in Coral Gables. This is going to be a big day for Jimmy Larrannaga and the ‘Canes.

The Pitt obsession and the hopes that the teams lose is great stuff, lol

In this instance, it helps PSU. Once they beat Maryland tomorrow, they’ll pass Pitt on the bubble.

PSU is going nowhere, and the idea of them going to the Sweet 16, Elite 8, etc…, is truly hilarious.

Predictable response. But at least they’ll be making the tournament.

Predictible homering.

It’s reality. Better chance of PSU football winning a national championship and that’s certainly not happening anytime soon
