This game has been circled on the schedule and am itchin to see it but what a horrible time to see Pitt. Despite facing The Zoo, momentum should have a role. Certainly cannot expect the defensive effort they showed against ND this weekend… With that said they learned how to pull it together and play a complete game.

These two have shown they can run up the score, Cuse attributes that to an efficient fast break transition game. This shouldn’t be the case as Pitt averages significantly less turnovers. Both teams shoot poorly from the line, rebound about the same and draw an equal amount of steals a game. Cuse is 3-1 ATS on the road with their loss coming against a superior Gtown squad…. Pitt is 5-3 ATS at home.

Cuse players especially big men have stayed away from foul trouble while conversely DeJuan Blair has become a recurrent offender. With the amount of slashing Devo Johnny and Paul come with, this should be the gameplan. Hopefully Sam Young continues his struggles from the field to make this easier. Blair is a freak and a rebounding machine, AO’s reb numbers are taken by Paul and Rick, but has more weight and a few inches. I feel that the game can be won based on this matchup.

Speaking of struggles, if Onuaku can shoot better than 50% I don’t expect his poor ft shooting to be a factor in the decision of this game. If he has a repeat performance of 1-7.. the cover is in serious jeopardy. He needs the ball in the paint and 70% of the time he makes it every time… free throws are a bonus literally.

I can see this contest coming down to the last few possessions, admittedly not sure about the victor. Has all the makings of a tight and exciting game. Take the points.<o></o>
