StatSheet is projecting Pittsburgh to go to the NIT as a four seed, provided they maintain a winning record. The Panthers are ranked #107 in the StatSheet StatRank, and making the NIT will be decided by their 15-13 overall record and 4-11 record in the Big East.
During the last four games, Pittsburgh got pummeled with losses to RPI #49 South Florida, RPI #32 West Virginia, and RPI #34 Seton Hall.
Pittsburgh is not that good against top competition, with a 6-11 record against the RPI Top 100 that includes a 2-9 record against the RPI Top 50 and a 1-4 record against AP ranked teams. While the Panthers have two quality wins including RPI #32 West Virginia and AP #10 Georgetown, they're also dinged by two bad losses including RPI #150 Rutgers and RPI #182 DePaul.
The last four teams into the NCAA Tournament with at-large bids are NC State (18-9, 7-5 ACC, StatRank #59), Mississippi State (19-8, 6-6 SEC, StatRank #58), Oregon (19-8, 10-5 Pac 12, StatRank #55), and Washington (19-8, 12-3 Pac 12, StatRank #57).
The first four teams out are Arizona (19-9, 10-5 Pac 12, StatRank #81), Illinois (16-11, 5-9 Big Ten, StatRank #73), LSU (16-10, 6-6 SEC, StatRank #70), and Ole Miss (15-11, 5-7 SEC, StatRank #80).
The next four out are Brigham Young (23-6, 11-3 West Coast, StatRank #50), Colorado (18-8, 10-4 Pac 12, StatRank #73), Minnesota (17-10, 5-9 Big Ten, StatRank #71), and St. Joseph's (PA) (18-10, 8-5 A-10, StatRank #46).
