Pitt/OK St.

[mopicks]

YTD 67-65 +18 Units


Oklahoma St -1.5 10 units

Biggest play of the season.
Get this spread now as the line will move, I got this last nite on Sportsbook.

Pitt does not have a single player that can consistently knock down jump shots!
They also lack a true point guard and their half court offense is poor. This killed them in the Big East finals. They had UConn beat,but couldn't score at the end.
Their best offensive option is Taft and they don't feature him in the offense,presumably because he is a freshman.
Pitt survives by playing tight defense and rebounding.
The Cowboys are a more balanced team.
If they force Pitt to win from the outside they will slowly pull away and win by double digits.

The task is clear for OK.State:
Keep Pitt off the offensive glass,win the game.

What's up with the Pitt/OSU line? How is this line not at least OSU -5?

As a Pitt fan, I love this thread fellas.

Don't forget where this game is being played. Pitt will have a large crowd advantage.

I have to preface my opinion on this game by saying my luck has been so bad lately that if I hit the lottery, I would get run over by a bus on my way to pick up my first jackpot installment.

Pittsburgh stinks. This is a very overrated team. If the other team left the court, it would take Pitt three shots to make a basket. Oklahoma St will run this team right out of the gym.

More, more!!! Guys, there are more ways to win basketball games than you think. You guys just watched 2 of Pitt's 3 worst offensive games of the season and they still won both games. For the season, they shoot 48% FG. Pitt has more wins than any team in the country and yet this is all I hear. Not complaining, the more game of the years on Okie State the better I feel.

i too am very surprised that this line is only 2. i thought it'd be 4 or 5. i want to take osu but that line scares me.

Blue..what scares me even more is that the money at Pinny is all over Pitt.

I am going to take OSU -2. If they don't cover, I will never cap a game again.

Pitt lost 3 games all year long by a TOTAL of 7 points. Not so fast my friends.

The fact Pitt struggled against Central Florida makes this pick easy, no matter who wins. If Pitt was really that good, they would have smashed CF start to finish.

2 of those 3 losses have come in their last 8 games- both by three and that's fine with me as I got OSU at 2.

Ok St has won their last 8 by an avg of nearly 14. Their last three by 17,19 and 16.

Two very good defensive teams, The difference will be Pitt's lack of abilitly to score 60 once again.

Pitt does what it takes to win no matter the competition. They have done it all year

how can you say the money at pinny is all over pitt.....pinny had osu -1.5 -117 today....they were beggin for pitt action at +1.5 +110...plus pinny had the best OSU line on the board earlier today at -1.5 when most outs already went to -2.....now pinny goes to -2...if the money was coming in on pitt they would have moved OSU to -1 not -2....I say pinny is more than willing to take all the OSU action it can get and cleans up when pitt wins....if the line looks to good it probably is true....plus the game is in E rutherford NJ.....about a hour and a half from Philly.....and 5 hours from Pitt....should be a very pro pitt crowd...i think pitt is to physical for OSU....pitt just wears down teams and will find a way to score....pitt has been battle tested all year...
