also, please, please, please admit that you aren't really in AP English. no one has ever earned a tournament birth.


several teams have earned tournament berths over the years though.

So you're saying OKST. should have blown out Pitt in 04 and it's inexcusable to lose to Bradley like they did in 06

In the two tourneys in question, Pitt was a 9 seed and lost in the first round to a very good Pacific team. In the other they lost to Bradley (who had beaten Kansas two days prior.) They may have underachieved in the second one, but it was by no means "greatly"

07 i really try to give you the benefit of the doubt. But you continue to prove you don't have one inkling of knowledge when it comes to basketball. What Dixon has done at Pitt has been nothing short of remarkable, including his tourney runs.

I'm not trying to take away from a fabulous record, but he's by no means been spectacular in the NCAA Tournament

So you're saying the Bradley loss is/was acceptable?

he's also a young coach, getting better and bringing Pitt into the upper echelon of college teams. I guess he should have made the Final Four as a 9 seed.

Bradley was extremely underrated and had just beaten Kansas, yes it was acceptable.

I'm saying he should have made it past the Sweet 16 times at least one time, he's a great coach, but can be considered nothing better until he can win more than 2 games in the NCAA Tournament

why exactly does Duke's ranking mean anything? They could be crowned "high basketball gods of all time" and they still blew a huge lead and lost to Pitt.

yeah losing to a 20+ win team with a very talented 7 footer that had just beaten Kansas is extremely acceptable.
