For the past couple of weeks we've looked at Pitt's NCAA Tournament projections with a good deal of regularity. Pitt has remained mostly a team declared as 'in' if they defeated Syracuse in the ACC Tournament, but ESPN's Joe Lunardi shook that up a bit in his last Bracketology projections earlier today. There, he pushed the team to the play-in game and, in theory, potentially out altogether just because those teams represent the final four slots.
That was actually lower than his projection before the Pitt-Syracuse game (where he had the team avoiding the play-in game) and left many scratching their heads about the Panthers' chances to get in.
