Projected seed: 11 (last four in)

Pittsburgh's positioning as a team on the fringes of the tournament picture stems from a mix of solid wins and troubling losses. They've had impressive victories against West Virginia and Ohio State, showcasing their ability to compete against quality opponents, but their inconsistent play against teams like Duke and Miami indicates vulnerabilities. Their recent loss to Wisconsin magnifies this inconsistency, as it's a missed opportunity against a ranked foe that could have elevated their resume. Remaining schedule matches against North Carolina and Virginia will be critical; winning those could significantly enhance their chances, while losing could leave them on the outside looking in.
