"They, like Berenato, were upset about losing a spot to 19-11 South Florida, which similarly finished with a 9-7 conference record."USF coach Jose Fernandez had a message for the Panthers."If they're going to point fingers, they should have played someone in the nonconference," Fernandez said. "They also didn't beat [nationally ranked] DePaul and Notre Dame [like USF did]."Pittsburgh defeated USF 66-64 on Jan. 4 and 60-58 on Feb. 11, but the Bulls finished with a better RPI (USF 43, Pitt 67) and played a tougher nonconference strength of schedule (USF 25, Pitt 99) according to CollegeRPI.com.While USF loaded its nonconference schedule with nationally ranked North Carolina, LSU and Michigan State - UNC and LSU received No. 1 seeds Monday - Pittsburgh didn't schedule any nonconference ranked teams."If other schools question why they didn't make it and we did, they should schedule differently," Fernandez said. "We've proven we belong." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
