Projected seed: 1

Pittsburgh's strong start to the season, highlighted by impressive victories over competitive teams like Murray State and West Virginia, showcases their ability to perform well against solid opponents. The offense is navigating smoothly with scoring outputs in the 80s, while the defense has held its ground, particularly evident in matchups against Gardner Webb and Radford where they allowed very few points. Looking ahead, they have a series of games that present substantial opportunities to solidify their standing—home games against teams like Louisville and Miami will be pivotal. Additionally, challenging opponents like Duke and North Carolina will test their resolve and could either bolster their resume significantly or expose vulnerabilities that might shake their momentum. If Pittsburgh continues this trajectory, they will undeniably be in a great position come tournament time.
