Are we having a moratorium on predictions?
Pitt has lost 12 in a row and is young. They got absolutely killed by ND but took Louisville to OT. All but about 3 games of their losing streak have been respectable (losses by 15 or less). They shoot at under 40% and are prone to TOs.
As Geno noted, he does not know what to expect from our team. I am not sure either. Are they in a funk, or will Pitt be dead meat in the first 8 minutes? I think this matchup greatly favors us, because we should be able to get easy buckets and not be forced to play a half-court game. I look for the defense to improve after two games below our usual standards. I hope for improvement in the half-court. If our half-court offense is not sharp, the post-season will be shorter than we want.
