Pitt had a great regular season this year, with a record of 28-6, winning the BIg East regular season title and landing a number 1 seed in the NCAA's.
Tournament play was not so good. They were eliminated in the third round of the Big East Tournament and never made the Sweet 16 in the NCAA's. Things, however, look a bit better if you consider who Pitt lost to and how they lost. Connecticut beat them in the final seconds by 2 points in the Big East Tourney and in the NCAA championships Butler won out by a single point in one of the weirdest endings of any basketball game ever.
Now Butler and Connecticut play for the NCAA title on Monday. Pitt lost very close games to the very best post-season teams.
And there's always next year.
