Pick Pitt at Your Peril

While North Carolina and UConn destroyed their first round opponents, Pitt is living up to its March reputation with an atrocious first half against 16-seed East Tennessee State. At the half, the Panthers are only up three, even with the Buccaneers shooting a woeful 24 percent from the field and seven percent from beyond the arc. Imagine if they were putting the ball in the bucket. Pitt would have already been blown out of the gym. Yes, it's still early, but this doesn't bode well for the Panthers's chances in the larger field of 64.
