A tip of the cap to BostonHoya05 on the HoyaTalk board, who came up with a scenario where Pitt can still gain the #1 BET seed, despite G'town's 59-46 win over UConn.
Pitt over Marquette
ND over Rutgers
Syracuse over Villanova
Depaul over USF
St. John's over Providence
SH over Louisville
A 3-way tie between ND, L'ville and Syracuse couldn't be used to break the tie for first, but this would also lead to a tie between Villanova and Providence at 8-8. Pitt had a 2-0 record against these teams (1-0 vs. both), G'town has a 1-1 record (1-1 vs. Nova, 0-0 vs. Prov).
The WVU/Cinci game has no bearing on this scenario.
Edited to add:
Despite an attempt by the officials to change the outcome of the game, Syracuse lost to Villanova 78-75, so this scenario is moot.
