Evening Roundup: Online Pundits
-- Pittsburgh has the goods to win it all, argues CNN/SI's Luke Winn.The Panthers came into the Big East tournament with two items on their agenda: 1) win the title, and 2) campaign for a No. 1 seed in the dance.

The bad news is, against a mature, good-shooting, sound defensive team, it might not matter.
Indeed.
