Thanks and Let's go Dukes

Mark Madden was hilarious ripping Pitt for chunking out of the NIT. He wants Duquesne to turn down a new City Game unless Pitt gives the Dukes 2 of 3 at the Coop.

Screw Madden!  More inches in his waistline than he has IQ points!  He's no different than the Pitt Lickers on 93.7.  He should stick to pro wrestling, which he treats like a sport!

Props to channel 4, WTAE for their coverage of the Dukes.   Lots of nice video on their site, and they are sending Andrew Stockey out to Omaha.   Channel 2 kdka is staring at the Capel cam to see if he sneezes, and Rich Walsh cries on twitter.

And I am sure the lead story on 93.7 (The all Pitt all the time) Fan today was probably "Back up Pitt point guard picks his nose."
Pittsburgh sports media has always been something of an inbred joke, but these clowns take the cake. Not even a headline of us upsetting Dayton last Friday. Oh yeah they mentioned it in passing how that might hurt Pitt's chances!
 

I got the ticket with the Friday watch party as well

Hey, at least the bars won't be crowded! 

I jut bought my ticket for our session on Thursday

Whew!
There was that one moment, (you know the one) where things turned bad and, in years past, the Dukes would have folded like a cheap suitcase. They got a three, we got the steal and the red head missed the layup and they came back to get a three, to cut it to four points!

They didn't fold! They kept their heads and still played their game!

Great win Today!

C'mon boys, one more and let's go dancing!
 

Thanks

Base on the latest bracketology on Teamrankings, Pitt now has a ZERO chance of making the Big Dance!
The Dukes are still holding strong at 24% for both the automatic bid and 24% for an at-large.

My gut hunch is that if they win today, they are in, even if they lose the championship game.  The Committee loves a good story and you can't go wrong wiwth 47 year tournament drought, finishing the season on a hot streak, Dambrot's wife's medical troubles....etc.  Fingers crossed.

Listening to KDKA radio and the announcer is worried Pitt wont get in to tourney because A10 gets 2 teams
in. Jeff and Heather ,Duquesne is 2 miles away and you opted to play Jacksonville and teams in 300s in pre league play and paid these teams when you could have played Duquesne at your place for nothing

Yes, I tuned into the Fan and it was nothing but "Pitt.....Pitt...Pitt!" No mention of the Dukes win, except as it pertained to Pitt's chances.

I hope North Carolina annihilates Pitt by about 30 points tonight!

Ugh! Overtime. Heading out to my local bar trivia match and watching Loyola let the Bonnies back into the game!  Setting the DVR to record in 15 minutes.  Last think I want is.........................OVERTIME! 

I can appreciate your personal reasons for not wanting it, but I’ll go the other way. Im hoping for a repeat of the Syracuse-UConn Big East tournament game that went 7 OTs. Let whoever comes out of it have tired legs against us tomorrow if we’re able to beat Dayton.

I thought that too, but remember they don't play Friday and play Saturday, so they get a breather.
