As far as pitt being overrated is just silly talk. I mean they are rated 20 and that is right where they should be. Ken Pom has had them in the top 5 or so all season and for several reasons. They are extremely efficient on the offensive end and can rebound w/ anybody in the country. They are lead by an experienced PG who makes excellent decisions and hits big time shots consistently. There big man need to improve their foul shooting because in close games late, Mr. Dixon has his hands full substituting offense for defense every chance he can.
They also play solid on the defensive end and take care of the rock. They can grind out games and don't get panicked even while down on the road (see cincy game last week)
They aren't a threat to win the title this year but this team has legit chance at sweet 16, the Elite 8 might be a stretch but since they can matchup with several different styles by slowing other teams down, they will continue to be a tough out.
