Projection: likely out
Pittsburgh's resume features some notable wins, such as the dominant victory over West Virginia and solid performances against Ohio State and North Carolina, but the overall inconsistency significantly hampers their tournament chances. Losses to teams like Michigan State and Louisville, as well as an inability to secure wins against stronger opponents in critical situations, raise concerns. Moreover, their struggles against lower-ranked teams, coupled with a lack of marquee victories to bolster their profile, leave them with an uphill battle as they move forward in the season. They’ll need to capitalize on upcoming matchups against ranked teams to enhance their standing and create a more convincing case for tournament inclusion.
