Going off past performances to predict the upcoming season is just stupid. It really is. This is a different group of players than teams of the past and they have a lot of confidence - rightfully so.

Easily. They're one of the most talented teams in the country. Pitts not even top 10 They're a top five team.

You're way to biased... they don't crack top 10, top 15 sure, but not even top 10

This team was obliterated by injuries last season and still managed to win the BEast. I just don't see them falling off this season. They're far to talented.

Pitt should be a solid 3 seed for the NCAAs next year. Probably a sweet 16 exit though.

None of you have made a legit argument as to why they aren't a top five team except going off past performance. It just doesn't make sense to me.

The Big East is going to be stacked this year too.

The arguement is that their are better teams out there at the moment. The big east is absolutly stacked this year and they will end up beating eachother up. I mean UCONN, Louisville, Marquette, Notre Dame, Georgetown, Nova and Pitt will all have a chance at being top 15 teams.

Still waiting Marty, Krup. Why aren't they a top five team?

Someone has to win the league and right now I'd say Pitt is the favorite.

Plus, there is still an outside chance that Mike Cook could be granted a sixth year of eligibility. It's not likely, but it could still happen.

sports.espn.go.com/ncb/notebook?page=notebook/shootaround/bigeastAugust 4th, 2008. The Pitt capsule says: Pittsburgh It's hard not to envision the Panthers as a top five team nationally. Overwhelmed by injuries all season, Pittsburgh rolled to an improbable Big East tournament title on the emerging stardom of Sam Young. Unassuming off the court, he was a beast on it and his decision to return to campus should have been greeted with hosannas and hallelujahs. Mix in a healthy Levance Fields, powerful DeJuan Blair and the Panthers' trademark nasty defense, and you have to give them the slightest of edges to win the league.

"Why? The Panthers return their entire core from a team that was in the Sweet 16 " --Go Katz...way to discredit this article for us

And Maniac you know very well that Pitt does well early, struggles in conference play, plays great in MSG and plays shitty in the NCAAs....year after year after year. The run in MSG last year does not make me think they are top 5.

The run in MSG last year does not make me think they are top 5. I don't particularly care about what has happened in the past. Do you really think this program is never going to break through? I prefer to judge a team by their current talent - not the past.

How?? The current team hasn't played one game! All we have to go by is the past. They had one good weekend. That is it. Who has this current team beaten?
