Needless to say the Big East has been good to Pitt in the past.

Let’s take it to the House. (or wherever The Final Four is being held) 🙂
Hail to Pitt !
Disney Sports doesn’t have the SouthEast Bracket up, God I hate them.
Now it time to prove that we deserve it.
This is setting up to be either our year, or a HORRIBLE flame out. No excuses this year.
But really I love this draw. I’m about ready to book my flight for the Final Four. The only team that scares me is K-State cause of Pullen. Still no really awesome coaches in Pitt’s path either.
Someone is living right at Pitt. Like I’ve said before, sometimes timing means more than anything else in life and Dixon’s got a good squad and an unbelievable draw in a horrible, atrocious year of college hoop and if that doesn’t translate to a Final 4, then maybe nothing will.
Really psyched for this run by Pitt. No excuses…as the old Pogo comic strip would say” we have met the enemy and they is us!” The only team that can beat Pitt, is Pitt.
His vendetta isn’t against Piit — it’s against the BE
I certainly think so.
Beware Pitt people, eat before going or drink a lot of water. Save your appetite for all the great restaurants in DC. Bring your own booze as well. (flask) I know lots of people who came down with the sh*ts eating at MCI/Verizon Center.
ESPN – Pat Forde

“And then there is the Southeast, otherwise known as the Jamie Dixon Backrub Regional. I don’t see a single major national-title threat in that 16-team grouping, which means terminal underachiever Pittsburgh might finally reach its first Final Four since World War II”
He didn’t even have us as one of the 7 national title contenders in his original post.
Hopefully, the players are ignoring all of the talk. The seniors need to step up and lead in that regard, because they’ve experienced it three times already. Their only focus should be on the next opponent. There are a number of potentially dangerous matchups for them, even if there is no team that really scares you in the bracket.
However, if they listen to comments like Forde’s above, or like the one from Pitt and Jamie lover Andy Katz (“Pitt should breeze to the Elite Eight. I’ll be surprised if it doesn’t get to its first Final Four since 1941.”), we’ll all be talking about another disappointing early exit and Pitt’s potential for a run next year.
I changed the name of it to “EXCLUDETHISPLEASE”
