It was nice to have Pitt back, they had a solid year considering what was expected. I’d hoped they would have been a little more competitive yesterday but Xavier just put on a clinic offensively in the first half. I’m not a Penn State guy, but it was fun to watch their run as well. I was rooting hard for them Saturday to keep hope alive of a Pitt-Penn State Sweet 16.
I would hope Dior Johnson sticks around being that Pitt really went to bat for him after his legal issues. He will be a big boost at the guard position after taking a (forced) redshirt this year. William Jeffress will also return after taking a medical redshirt this season.
They are taking some heavy losses -- particularly at guard. I'd assume Capel will keep working the Portal for guards -- of which there are hundreds looking for a new home.
I did see Hughley recently entered the portal after missing almost all of this season. He may have seen the writing on the wall with Hinson's emergence. That said, he's already been contacted by a slew of major P5 programs (WVU, Michigan, etc.).
Capel was walking the plank in early November. He certainly bought himself some more time.

And they’ll beat Purdue too.

Especially after the last several years. Hopefully they can build on something.
Conversely, MM was tooting his horn over the weekend saying that Duquesne should drop football to focus on basketball like Xavier and Marquette.

They bring in St Thomas Aquinas head coach from the D2 ranks. He brings in three D2 transfers. He wins their conference and makes the NCAA tournament in year one. They average 6'3" in height. They run and jump and make a slow Big Ten team play faster than they want. FDU beats a #1 seed tonight and improves to 21-15 in season one with that D2 head coach and three D2 transfers.
This tournament is freaking ridiculous.

I think Penn State put to rest any contention that they weren't a legit tourney team. That's probably one of the best shooting exhibitions I've seen in the NCAAs in a long time. Texas will be a problem for them as the Longhorns have good length.
Beyond the shooting, they do have an offensive option in the lane when Pickett backs down defenders, and it's also where he kicks it out to create open 3s. Also, they aren't totally devoid of inside presence like they were in December. Njie and Mahaffey have both shown signs of growing into their roles.
The Nits' shooting will elude them at some point over the next week or two. It may not be tomorrow. And if it's not, they should beat Texas.
P.S. I guess Pitt deserved to be in the tournament now, too.
