Again, great exposure and a step in the same direction other NAIA powers like Georgetown College have done in recent years. If I'm not mistaken, Gtown played in a Christmas tournament at Pitt just a few years ago, played 2 games and came close to pulling off an upset.

Georgetown also nearly upset Louisville last season, falling 94-92.

I actually remember both of those near-upset situations for the Tigers. Almost beating Louisville was nice, but to me what made the one in the Pitt tournament even more noteworthy was that it was an actual regular-season game that counted on each team's record. Georgetown lost 79-74 on the home court of a Pitt team that finished 31-5, won the regular-season Big East title, and went to the NCAA sweet sixteen. Wow.
