NOTES: "Twenty years ago as a No. 16 seed in Nashville, the Buccaneers had No. 1-seeded Oklahoma on the ropes before losing 72-71 in the Southeast Regional. Two years later as a No. 10 seed, ETSU lost a three-point heartbreaker to Iowa. But in 1992, the 14th-seeded Buccaneers finally finished one off with an 87-80 win over No. 3 seed Arizona, cementing them as upset specialists.There were two other close calls: a three-point loss as a No. 15 seed to Wake Forest in 2003 and a three-point loss as a No. 13 seed to Cincinnati." - ESPN.com

Wow, unknown ETSU has a history of knocking off, or almost knocking off, highly seeded teams. Pitt has a history of losing to unknown, lower seeded team.
Thanks a lot for posting this Don; this is something none of us really needed to hear!
I've stopped for gas in johnston city, and if their basketball team is anything like their hot dogs, we're all in for a shitty weekend.
