Hope nobody picked Pitt to go far.

The tournament bastion of mediocrity is at it again trailing Wichita State.

We should wait to post these things. Lots of time left, and it's bad for the mojo.

Pitt's (scum) karma is so $%#@#^& bad I say post away.

 

[jrazz12]

Well I did pick them to win this game. Which I guess for them is going far

 

[Scot-e]

That funny- but I have a feeling they are going to stink up the place.. Would be lovely for both them and Quse to bail out early.

I learned my lesson about SPitt. They destroy my bracket every year.......except this year. I picked WS.

 

[BugsyCT]

Seeing them lay another steaming turd pile in March always warms my heart.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Love those Shockers! Now if they can just win the next game.

They're the ACC's embarrassment now. Glad they're gone.

 

[StoweD210]

I was going to post something with around 10 minutes left, but then thought there might be too much time left. Got distracted by something else and didn't tune back until now.

Holy crap, Pitt is terrible in the tournament. Are their fans even surprised by this stuff anymore?

Eliminated before sundown on the first day. Ouch

 

[WestCoastHusky]

I picked them to lose the first round and they never disappoint. Pitt choked again as usual. Good job Pitt! You never let us down.

 

[Scot-e]

This is the sound of Pitt (scum) in the post season. Insert cricket noise here.

With about 2:20 left in the game, my wife, a Pitt grad/Katz MBA, with whom I've sparred frequently during UConn/Pitt BET finals, changed the channel and proclaimed she's tired of caring about Pitt.

Wichita State was strong. Pittsburgh was embarrassing. One team played Big East basketball, and it was Wichita State. What a beatdown.​

You have to give them credit. It's not easy to be a #3 seed or higher 7 times and only get as far as the regional final once.

It takes a unique level of postseason incompetence to pull that off.

It's even more amazing when you add the flameouts of those talented mid to late 80's teams with Charles Smith, Jerome Lane, Freakazoid Gore, etc. Every blind squirrel finds a nut except, apparently, Pitt.
