Pitt will not be one of the 3 or 4 worst in the ACC.

Pittsburgh isn't very good. They will be one of the 3 or 4 worst team in their league. I think you are forgetting that Va Tech, Wake Forest, Florida St., Clemson, and Georgia Tech aren't that good either this year.

Pitt could very well finish ahead of NC State, Syracuse, and Notre Dame this season. Pitt is a good team just not as good as they have been. They are likely a solid middle third ACC team. But middle third ACC teams are good enough to get into the NCAA. (Last year seven out of 15 ACC teams made it and they were lobbying for more.)
For comparison, these are some teams from last year that would be on par with this current Pitt team: Stephen F. Austin, Xavier, New Mexico, NC State, Harvard, and St Mary's. That is some good company.
The Bonnies should not think about this game any longer. They have had time to study what needs worked on and should be working to improve and focusing on the season in front of them.

I feel better about the loss coming to a Middle Pack ACC team called Pittsburgh than I do about a loss coming to some of those names.

I feel better about the loss coming to a Middle Pack ACC team called Pittsburgh than I do about a loss coming to some of those names. SFA, Harvard, and NC State all won games at the NCAAs... What you just said is the reason no one wants to take games to play at the RC. They would rather go to Boston College, Florida State, or Virginia Tech because they are brand name ACC schools. A loss to SBU would be too embarrassing--no one has ever heard of SBU.

The loss to Siena sticks in my craw far more than the Pitt loss. The team was asleep at the wheel that night.

When was the last time we had a SOLID out of conference victory from a big conference.
Do not say St. John's.. that was a 17-16 team.

Nobody answer this. All this guy does is come on here and say things like this and adds nothing to the conversation.

When was the last time we defeated a good Out of Conference team from a power conference? Its been a very long time. What is wrong with stating facts?

Same thing after we lost to Siena College. People were saying its okay, because it is a SOLID program. It really isn't.
Pittsburgh is a lower tier team in the ACC/ we lost to them. People also mentioned Wake Forest being a lower level team which they are / we got KILLED when we played them.....
Teams from power conferences don't even need to really show up to beat our lower tier teams or any actual team.
This is not me being negative. Its the facts. You can't keep on making excuses for when we lose. We lost/ Pittsburgh isn't that great.
The a10 isn't very good right now. I am mean playing Fordham is a bye for most teams.

Yes. IF we make any sort of post season our seed will suffer because of PITT. Reminds me of the NC State loss three years ago.
