WSU VERSUS PITTSBURG PREDICTIONS AND PREGAME DISCUSSIONS

[hizzshock]

When do the announce time and channel?

Steven Adams of Pitt is the X-Factor in this game. Control him, and we've got a good shot. IF we let him dominate inside, whether that be with boards, points, defense, or clogging up the lane it's gonna be a lot tougher game for us then it already is.

Even at 7 feet I think he is athletically gifted to guard Carl, even thoguh Carl is quicker. His length could be a real problem for us. Woddall is going to do his thing.

Tough Game, Pitt is playing really well, so are we.

Gotta go with the Shocks. 53-51

I believe it is late, late tonight. At least that is when Turner did it last year.

ESPN's fancy pants computers have us at a 33% chance of winning and Kenpom has Pitt as #7 in the country. That's right, we were bumped up a seed to face #7 in Kenpom :/

Regardless, I think HCGM pulls a bit of the kool-aid left over from the NIT run, we get both Cle and Baker playing well, and pull it out. 61-54

They're updating it right now, line by line.

Edit: Or maybe they're only doing the play in games, who knows

According to one betting site we are 5 point underdogs.

Already at least 4 threads on the Pitt board about them playing and or beating Gonzaga.

Ahem....it's our time folks.

Meh. The moment I saw the bracket I was already looking past them to Gonzaga, too.

Oh and would it be weird to ask the basketball team to exact some revenge for the baseball team who got whooped by PITT earlier this year?

How about the last time the two played in KC at the CBE Classic WITHOUT Clevin Hannah??

I personally like all of the talking heads picking Pitt. Shall I bump up the Embrace the Hate thread?

We were being lathered up by a lot of them last year, with picks of us going to the Final Four or Sweet 16. How did we do?

Just because everyone is picking Pitt, doesn't mean it's going to happen. I personally love this position. Let's prove em wrong boys!

Congrats on the at-large and good luck against Pittsburgh! Will be rooting for the Shockers.

We at VCU got the 5-12 mid-major curse you guys got last year with a pretty strong Akron team. Hopefully the black and gold teams have a good weekend!

LET'S GO SHOCKERS!

Thanks!

Good luck against the Zips! I would love to see you guys take a crack at KU again!

I don't like stirring the pot much....

But if I see one more person complain about my "Pittsburg" reference while mentioning "Witchita" i'm going to go @martymoose: on the Rivals board.

Just Saying.

Haertl and Parsons basically giving the game to Pitt.
