Bracketology Watch: Pitt Moves Down in ESPN Projections
In this story:
PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers are down but not out of ESPN's projected NCAA Tournament field, even after loss to Quad 4 Florida State at home last weekend.
ESPN's Joe Lunardi released a new set of predictions with Pitt as a No. 11 seed in the South region - downgraded from their previous spot as a No. 9 seed in the West region. He also has the Panthers as one of the "Last Four Byes" - those on the edge of having to visit Dayton, Ohio for a play-in game.
Lunardi believes the Panthers will meet No. 6 Michigan St. in Denver, Colorado in their opening-round matchup. The winner would advance to face the winner of Eastern Washington-Gonzaga from the 14-3 game also held in Denver.
Pitt has good opportunities to improve their tournament resume in the next three games. Three Quad 1 or 2 opponents in Wake Forest, North Carolina and Miami await them next up on the schedule.
