StatSheet projects Pittsburgh to make the NIT as a four seed, as long as they finish with a winning record. The Panthers are sitting at #111 in the StatSheet StatRank, and their NIT bid will hang on their 16-15 overall record and 5-13 record in the Big East.
During its last four games, Pittsburgh chalked up a win against St. John's but also hit a setback with losses to RPI #32 Connecticut and AP #19 Louisville.
Pittsburgh is weak against top competition, with a 5-13 record against the RPI Top 100 that includes a 2-10 record against the RPI Top 50 and a 1-5 record against AP ranked teams. While the Panthers have two quality wins including RPI #43 West Virginia and AP #11 Georgetown, they're also weighed down by two bad losses including RPI #151 Rutgers and RPI #195 DePaul.
