If you know your Pitt basketball, then you know that Pitt has never won more than two games in the NCAA Tournament. In modern parlance that has meant not getting past the Sweet 16. In the early-70s, Pitt couldn’t get past the Elite 8.
Well, Pitt Blather made it into the Elite Eight of the Pittsburgh Sports Blog Tournament. I’m not optimistic as Blather goes against the strongest #1 seed out there in Mondesi’s House.
I’m not claiming any relation or tie-in to how deep the Pitt basketball team will go in March, but does anyone want to really take that chance?
Currently traiing Mondesi’s House 66% to 33% but maybe only 3 votes. Deadline is 8 tonight. I’m told Chas has a great stimulus package prepared should he win

The Seton Hall game is being televised on ESPN-R (whatever that means – I assume Regional.) I do know it is being shown in Pgh on Fox Sports Net
