Projection: likely out

Pittsburgh's current profile teeters on the edge of the tournament picture; however, their inconsistent record against quality opponents raises concerns. Key wins against teams like West Virginia and Ohio State showcase their potential, but the significant losses to highly ranked programs, such as Duke and Louisville, reveal vulnerabilities, especially on the road. Moreover, their offensive and defensive metrics indicate struggles in key areas, specifically when facing top-tier competition. Upcoming games against teams like Georgia Tech and Boston College provide opportunities to boost their standing, but any slip-ups could further jeopardize their hopes for an NCAA tournament berth.
