No way. Pitt will be blown out. Below average team. They lost to a below average Hawaii team. Fatigue is not a issue. Chol , Pope(played no minutes),Zabo, Kell and Polee played limited minutes for the aztecs. Thats a starting five on most teams and Polee won't play as bad as he did against BYU.
He missed 4 FT's(1-5-80% ft shooter) and missed easy baskets.(he had a wide open floater from 6 feet and missed the entire rim. Pitt lost to a below average 4-2 Hawaii team(Hawaii lost to a team named High Point?). Hawaii beat 1-4 Cal State Bakersfield by 7 AT HOME. SDSU beat CA Bakersfield 51-27. Pitt is not even an average team at this point.

Pitt is good, Hawaii was nothing more than a fluke game. They aren't quite as good on defense as they have been in prior years but they are better on offense. Really good offensive rebounding team.

Pitt did not look good at home against 2-3 Samford either. Samford had 13 Offensive Rebounds to Pitt's 7 for the game and outrebounded Pitt 33-30. With 13 minutes remaining Pitt was down to Samford by 5 points a team that was blown out by 40 points by Purdue. So the loss to Hawaii was far from a fluke. Pitt will be blown out.

I think Pitt's big guys looked good because of the competition. I think it's safe to say that they likely won't do much against Spencer and Chol...They're going to have to beat us with guard play, which I don't think will happen either

No it wasn't, it was a fluke. Pitt is good. They are a middling ACC team. That goes both ways. |

Rememeber Chaminade is a Div II team. Point Loma Nazarene is 4-0 currently-SDSU destroyed PLNU up by as many as 37 points. Chaminade 2-0 (before Pitt loss) Pitt did not look good. Its like a Div I looking bad in a Exhibition game before the season. Pitt is in a bad position to put it mildly.

I honestly expect another close game, despite Pitt's struggles so far this year.

I put Pitt MAYBE in CSUN category only SDSU is shooting better now. SDSU has one opponent with a comparable game. CSUN at home beat Samford 79-72. Pitt at home beat Samford 63-56.
SDSU beat CSUN by 19 and it was not even that close.

Pitt was picked 8th in the ACC. They are missing two guards, one due to a suspension and the other due to injury. As much as some want to say that this Pitt team is good, they really aren't. Better than most MWC teams??? Yes, but Aztecs should dominate the conf. Aztecs are an elite team and should win this game easily. BYU was a bad matchup against us because of their offense and they still only scored 67 in regulation. Pitt is a much better matchup for us.

This is a tournament type atmosphere and everyone we play all year long will be gunning to beat us. Pitt plays in a tough conference with many great venues and atmospheres...they will not be intimidated. I really hope we blow them out but I don't think we should expect that.

The line is moving around a bit. Consensus line at VegasInsider reads 2.5. A lot of people seem to think Pitt is for real or we are not. We have fresh legs on the bench and some guys with some confidence in their stroke again. I like us.

We don't blow anybody out - except the occasional WAY overmatched team. The line sounds about right. Comparing Pitt to CSUN? Good one.......

A low or non-ranked team will always give a ranked team their best shot. It's an ego thing. |

So...the consensus is that we should win, but although it conceivably could be a blowout, it probably won't be because Pitt will be striving to best a ranked team. There's always a danger that we could lose, but it's unlikely.
Hope it's a blowout. After my exertions listening to Ted call the game while at work, I'm exhausted. A nice, comfortable game would be great.
