Pitt is cooked

[Marsh01]

Thought with Woodall back they would make a run but this team is all done. Stick a fork in them.

 

[texascpa]

Yep, I said a couple weeks ago that they would run the table (maybe lose 1) and be back in the tourney conversation. That ended today, unless they win the BE tourney.

Hope they're not in our bracket at the BET. I never like to play against the clutch and grab.

At this point, I couldn't care less about the BET. Sometimes I think that tournament is a bigger hindrance to our NCAA tourney success than a help.

Agree with this unless of course you need to win to get in the NCAA.

If we can avoid injuries and OT games I'm all for winning the BET...

+1 As much as I believe that winning the regular season title is a much more significant accomplishment, people only remember the BET champion. And after UCon's run last year, it's hard to argue that the BET takes too much out of a team.

Unless your name is Arinze Onuaku.

Didn't seem to hurt UCONN too much last year ..

I agree. I want to win everything. After last year (and all the times Duke has done it as well) it can happen.

 

[Gabjon]

I think value of our depth will really show its self in the BET. Hopefully we get to the final without anyone playing more than 32mins a game.

 

[Upstate]

Kinda feel bad for Ashton Gibbs. He gave up a draft spot to come back...for this.

UConn winning the Big East Tourney got them all the way up to a 3 seed. Syracuse is a 1 seed, if we win the Big East. There's no real point in a conference tourney, if you're already a 1 seed in the NCAA's heading in.

 

[Ghost]

That flagrant 1 at the end of the game was nonsense, Pitt probably still loses, but that was a crap call that ended any chance of a comeback.

Can't say I was upset, since I hate Pitt, still thought it was an odd call, and even odder that the announcers kept saying he hit Pope in the face - didn't look like he hit him in the face to me.

 

[syr02esq]

Their only hope is the BE tourney.

I was agreeing with JDubs when he said if we have no injuries. Obviously losing Arinze cost us big time. But in a scenario where we DON'T suffer any injuries, I'd prefer to win the BET before we win the NC.
