fivedoorsdown · Jan 23, 2004

well this should be a great big east match-up.
wondering what people think.
personally leaning to pitt at this time maybe some here can share some insight as to why we shouldnt.
thanks in advance

I'm leaning toward the Cuse. Basically, if McNamara is hot they don't lose, if he's cold they do. Pitt has questionable outside shooting as well.
Take it with a grain of salt, though, as I, like everyone else, is never always right. I just try and be most of the time.

I liked pitt to begin with.

They battled Uconn and really impressed me. I didnt think they would have been up to the competition.

Last year, Pitt attacked the interior of the zone and were very successful. Without Knight & Lett, they may not be quite as successful with the less experienced Krauser & Taft. If Page & Krauser can hit the three's, I feel Pitt would be a strong play today. If...

McNamara playing is totally up in the air - Cuse will have little chance of winning without him - I would imagine he plays but who knows what to expect - Pitt looks like a decent play but it will be dificult to win at the dome before 30k fans at night - I'd pass this game.

so far cant find out if he's playing or not.
some sites have him listed as limited play. and other sites including the orangemens site says no play.
hate betting against team without star player cause it seems to go against an obvious play.
oh well may have to pass on this game unless it comes out for sure one way or the other
