I kept hearing that Pitt had its worst home loss in 6 six years and then found out that 13-points was the largest margin of defeat. I'm even more impressed with Pitt now after learning about this fact. It's not like they haven't played some good Big East teams such as UConn in recent years or some tough OOC opponents.

Honestly, it wasn't as close as a 13 point game would indicate. Part of the problem was they missed their first 15 or so threes, when they normally shoot 40% from there for the season. They also thrive on ball movement, but pressure defenses with athletic backcourts often disrupt their rhythm and cause turnovers. They are definitely talented, but I don't see them past the sweet 16.
