There's a pretty good chance Pitt will sit out the NCAA tournament if it loses to the Florida State-Georgia Tech winner on Wednesday afternoon in its first ACC tournament game. The bracketologists have made it clear they have little respect for Pitt's body of work or the ACC's in general. ESPN's Joe Lunardi has Pitt as a No. 10 seed, getting one of the last four byes into the field, after its losses last week at Notre Dame and Miami. At best, it would appear, another loss on Wednesday would put it in Dayton in one of the play-in games for the NCAAs.
It doesn't seem right.
It's true a loss to Florida State or Georgia Tech would be an unsightly blemish. Neither team is very good, although Florida State did beat Pitt at Petersen Events Center on Jan. 21, the game before Pitt went on a roll and won six in a row and eight of nine.
