    Have they ever made it past the sweet 16?

    They were in the Elite 8 two seasons ago. They were a #1 that year too. They almost lost to the 16 seed that year though... pretty sure it was a 2 point game with only a few minutes left.

    It's a damn shame that I picked Old Dominion winning this game, but I had a gut feeling Pitt was going down in this game.

    Quite clever, but that's not even his funniest comment on this thread. That would be the one about the Big East officials.

    Dude me too. I was telling one of my friends that the winner of Butler/ODU would knock off Pitt. I just hate Pitt come tourney time, they are a lock to choke and not make it to the final 4. Unfortunately I picked the wrong team to knock them off too haha.

    Did you watch the play? That's a serious question..because if you really think there were four guys going up for the rebound, you are blind. Howard had ONE Pitt player boxed out and he came down with the rebound..then turned to make a last second heave and was fouled.

    Correct. Howard was the only player on the floor that was getting that rebound.

    Mack said it best.

    Fouls are fouls whether they are .4 seconds left or 39 minutes left.

    Don't blame the refs, blame the dumbass players for fouling in a crucial point in the game.

    Agree 100% here.

    Stupid, stupid foul. Why are you even going for the rebound at the end?
