Pitt is up only one point by halftime over a 16 seed team. Could this be the first?

Well make that 3 points, as CBS change the score to 26-23,from 26-25.

Pitt is up only one point by halftime over a 16 seed team. Could this be the first?

Pitt will figure it out soon enough.

"His name is Semaj, which is James spelled backwards."

 

Why do people do this to their children?

A sign that the #16 will not beat the #1 seed: A 90% free throw shooter goes to the line and misses both free throws.

 

Making the freebies ranks pretty high on the list of things you have to do to pull this off.

 

The team shoots 72% from the line. They've missed three of their last 4. They're shooting 42% for the day.

And they're still blowing the freebies...

Refs blew the call on the undercut. Guess every time Pitt goes inside on ETSU it's a foul, but they don't do it on the other end, huh?

 

And like clockwork, I said that and they call it.

Dagger. It's over. Pitt up 67-59, 1:10 left.

 

ETSU cuts it to 67-61, 1:05 left, but I don't think they'll overcome that three.

I knew YESTERDAY I shouldn't have had Pitt going to the final game... this is looking scary.

 

...spoke too soon.

 

Yay Pitt! (for not losing moreso than for winning:D)

I've got them in the Final Four. Maybe this will just be their scare.

ETSU gives it a go, but in the end they fail to even be the first team since Fairfield in 1997 to play within double digits of a 1 seed.

Meanwhile West Virginia is in all kinds of trouble, down 5 to Dayton with 34 seconds left.

Dayton is going to advance.

 

Through 1.5 days of the tourney, you'd be 17-5 right now if you picked the chalk according to seed. You'd also have every single Sweet 16 team and beyond still in it as none of the top 4 seeds have lost.

Boring! Let's get some upsets here later tonight. Maybe some Morehead over Louisville action!

Way to go Dayton!!
