Message: [QUOTE="StopCoolio, post: 151930, member: 124"] Yeah, if you told me that we'd shoot 7% from three again, I might be a little nervous, but I don't see what all the worry is about this one. All arguments seem to be driven by past losses by completely superior Pitt teams to this version. That 2010 Pitt team ended up being a 3 seed I believe. This one might be on the NIT bubble. Those past losses also may end up serving as some sort of motivation for us. They don't defend nearly as well as in the past. They handle the ball poorly(and we take it away better than anyone they've played). They are awful against presses(see: Blue Demons, Depaul). The supporting cast other than Gibbs struggles to score, so I expect we'll see some semblance of the treatment we gave Wayns last week(17 ppg scorer, down to 3 against us) on him. They lost to Depaul. And Wagner. And Rutgers...by 20. Anything can happen but I really don't see us losing to this team or it even being all that close. [/QUOTE]
