The Bucs played their tails off, and outplayed Pitt everywhere but where it counts, the scoreboard.
Although they lose Tiggs, Pigram and Hamlin, they should be pretty good next year. Sollazo at the point, Smith at the 2, 3, or 4. Brown at the 4, or 5. Coy at the 5. Hubbard is a bulldog much like Marty Story who can/will guard anyone. Williams is a solid 2, and Tibbs (transfer from Alabama) can flat out sky who will probably take Tiggs spot.
Bingo! We've seen the hype from Pitt before,yet it always comes up short. This year will be no different.Quote:

No crow as Pitt once again falls short. Great game though.Quote:

bbbu but i thought villanova wasnt getting out of the first round?
Props to Nova. Here's the thing: I have no prob admitting when I am wrong (no prob when I am right either-are alot of folks on here who cannot admit when they are wrong no doubt). Every year we hear folks hyping Pitt,talking about how great they are-serious national contender...yada yada. This year is the best they have done,yet they don't even make the national semis. BTW for most of the 1st round game tiny American sure had folks worried/made me look good though. I'm still waiting on you all to retract that blowout statement (speaking of not being able to admit you all blew it as well)Quote:

no i can admit it, my bracket got really fucked, i have one final four team left, and my national title pick got put out because they didnt want it enough
As bad as we all rag on the Big 10,MSU made my pick to win it all play Big 10 ball. The Big 10 has a rep in the Final 4,and that's something that the SEC cannot say this year. I'm still stunned that UL got handled like that (major dose of wrong on that badboy). I really thought that the Cards with the way they press and play D were going to cut down the nylon. I had said earlier that perhaps Purdue would be the only team from that conference to make a run,but MSU sure fooled me and everybody else. Seriously and honestly,who would have picked MSU to be in the Final 4?Quote:
