[PghYinzer]

1) Mount Lebanon vs. 9) Millvale

4) Mount Washington vs. 5) Beechview....I would say the growing immigrant population adds some character to the area....

3) Brookline vs. 6)Brighton Heights...gotta represent...

2) Lawrenceville vs.10) Etna


1) Squirrel Hill vs. 8) Avalon

4) Dormont vs. 12) Central Northside

3) Carrick vs. 11) Morningside....by far my favorite East End neighborhood....

10) Garfield vs. 15) Strip District


1) Oakland vs. 8) Stanton Heights

4) Bloomfield vs. 5) Point Breeze...tough one, but I am not a fan of the whole 1880's London vibe of Bloomfield...it is by far too cramped, dirty, and draped in aluminum for my liking...

6) Bluff vs. 14) Manchester

2) Shadyside vs. 7) Crafton


1) South Side vs. 9) Banksville/Greentree....can't be East Carson in terms of character...

4) Bellevue vs. 5) Greenfield

6) Highland Park vs. 14) East Allegheny

7) East Liberty vs.15) Friendship

I think it worked out great this way, the some of the suburbs that were included are doing well so far. And it is very tough to pick some of the closely seeded contests because they are so evenly matched.

15) Strip District -- The Strip may have taken down everyone here.

I'm rooting for the Strip!

It's making a Dunk City like run by dominating it's first two matchups as a 15 seed.
