So Pitt has decided to host a basketball tourney this December. Forgive me if I’m not exactly overwhelmed with the teams competing.
Florida State, Murray State, Eastern Michigan, Chicago State and Wagner. I see at least two teams where the net effect of playing is to drag down Pitt’s RPI (Chicago State and Wagner). There are two teams that have been good mid-majors, thus being a risk to play; and don’t hurt/help the RPI (Murray and EMU). Then there is the name school, but in the wrong sport — Florida State — does anyone know if there are any expectations for FSU this year?
Couldn’t Pitt have wrangled an invite to a better tournament, rather than hosting this dink?
