Those first 10 minutes were fools gold. Pitt doing what Pitt does. Surprised they're still within 10.

NCAA true seed list had Kentucky as the 1st 8 seed...just 1 move up the line and they would have been a 7 seed and avoided this game.

25. Texas

26.UConn

27.Oregon

28.New Mexico

29.Kentucky

-----------------

That is how I seeded them

Seed W-L RPI SS NCSS t50 100 200 200+
6 Oklahoma 23-9 26 15 70 7-5 4-3 8-1 4-0
6 UCONN 26-8 23 30 78 7-5 2-2 8-1 9-0
6 Kentucky 24-10 17 3 9 4-6 10-3 7-1 3-0
6 Baylor 22-11 30 8 34 8-9 4-1 5-1 5-0
7 Texas 23-10 37 43 169 6-8 6-1 5-1 6-0
7 VCU 26-8 13 27 74 5-5 7-2 9-1 5-0
7 Saint Louis 25-6 27 73 101 5-4 4-1 12-1 4-0
7 UMASS 24-8 22 38 25 7-4 6-3 7-1 4-0


None of this matters now you have to play who is in front of you I just hate the match up I want both teams to win but only 1 moves on.

Scottie Wilbekin is too good, too clutch, too dirty.

I understand where you're coming from.

Seed W-L RPI SS NCSS t50 100 200 200+
6 Oklahoma 23-9 26 15 70 7-5 4-3 8-1 4-0
6 UCONN 26-8 23 30 78 7-5 2-2 8-1 9-0
6 Kentucky 24-10 17 3 9 4-6 10-3 7-1 3-0
6 Baylor 22-11 30 8 34 8-9 4-1 5-1 5-0
7 Texas 23-10 37 43 169 6-8 6-1 5-1 6-0
7 VCU 26-8 13 27 74 5-5 7-2 9-1 5-0
7 Saint Louis 25-6 27 73 101 5-4 4-1 12-1 4-0
7 UMASS 24-8 22 38 25 7-4 6-3 7-1 4-0

Just to point it out, though, Kentucky had the worst record against the top 50 and the lowest win total of any team on that list. Same is true if you included a column vs top 25. Kentucky's entire resume is the 51-100 RPI teams.

Pitt is such garbage.

[RoyalShock]

Wilbekin is on a different level than everyone else on the floor.

[wsushox1]

Jamie Dixon is just a poor coach.

[Shock Top]

The "Pitt is garbage" crowd has to be feeling pretty good today ;)

Awesome.

We really need more sites that hold the "experts" accountable for their picks. You shouldn't be able to call yourself an "expert" on ESPN if your picks are consistently lower than, say, the 80th/90th percentile nationally.

Indeed.

Next up should be ******* and gottlieb!

I don't see you-know-who chirping much on here today.

I was telling all my buddies that I didn't think that Pitt was that good, but just that CU was that bad.

I haven't seen a worse 8/9 seed than Colorado.

Colorado didn't get punished much for playing without Dinwiddie. Unfortunately, they were a pretty good team with him, but crap without him.

Pittsburgh is the one team that makes me consistently question KenPom. I don't know if their consistently high KenPom rankings reflect a weakness in the KenPom system or just a massive weakness in Dixon having his team ready to play in the postseason.
