    Why was Pitt a 1 seed?

    Losing to Butler? BYU or SDSU shoulda gotten the 1 and Pitt the #3, Big East overrated.

    They deserved to be a #1 seed. This is March Madness... let me guess, this must be your first year filling out a bracket?

    Upsets happen. They deserved the #1 seed given to them. Don't forget to give Butler credit, it's not like they're a bad team.

    the 3 point shot makes it possible for almost any decent team to beat almost anyone in the tournament. butler did that and pitt was victim. pitt is a better team and would win 8 out of 10 games vs butler, last night wasn't one of them.

    the answer to the original question is: because they determine seeds before the tournament, not based on how you do IN the tournament which would make no sense

    Is the Big East overrated? Yes. They choke in the tournament year in and year out. Was Pitt undeserving of a #1 seed? No. Just because they lost doesn't mean they didn't have one of the 4 strongest seasons of any team in college basketball. Sorry you bet on Pitt/your bracket didn't work out, but them's the breaks.

    Big East overrated?
    You don't watch much basketball do you?

    BE was the #1 ranked conference by most everybody who does such rankings, and the Big 10 wasn't really close in the rankings coming in second.

    BE #9 seed UCONN could have finished second in most big boy conferences.

    Overrated

    Yeah you got me. Fact is, my bracket looks a hell of a lot better than yours.

    obviously an idiot. Butler would probably beat SDSU and BYU handily if they played on a neutral court.

    makes you wonder if the selection committee will hesitate to give Pitt a #1 in the future, even if they go 28-2 and go 15-3 in the Big East play. I mean. Its getting kinda ridiculous.

    I know the past results shouldn't factor into their decisions, but they are only human
