The wait is finally over. The selection committee announced the field of 65 last night with Pitt getting a No. 3 seed in the West Region to advance to its ninth straight NCAA Tournament.

Its bracket is highlighted by No. 1 seed Syracuse, along with second-seeded Kansas State and strong mid-major teams such as Butler and Gonzaga.

But up first for the Panthers as they travel to Milwaukee are the No. 14 seed Oakland Golden Grizzlies, the champions of the Summit League. They come into this game riding an 11-game winning streak.
