I’m not going to waste time getting to my point of this column.

The fact that we wake up this morning still wondering if Pitt will get a bid into the NCAA Tournament is laughable.

Furthermore, Pitt even being labeled as a ‘Bubble Team’ is equally as bad and an indictment of its flawed selection process.

I don’t need to know how many Quad One/Two/Three wins Pitt holds. Don’t care what their offensive efficiency is or about a couple games they played four months ago. If you think Pitt is even close to being the same team they were four months ago, or that they should be penalized for West Virginia being pathetic this season or feel that the ACC is an average conference then your part of the problem in college basketball.

Pitt isn’t and shouldn’t be viewed as a ‘Bubble Team’ anymore and shouldn’t have been prior to their beat down of Wake Forest on Thursday.

Pitt has 22 wins, 13 of which came in a major conference. Those 13 ACC wins are more important than anything and should trump anything that happened in November. The ‘experts’ can talk all they want about Drake, Indiana State and teams in the Mountain West, but they’re not winning 13 games in the ACC.
