Pitt looks small

[Cuse4]

Watching them against ND... Cooley looks like a giant compared to them... Woodall back for Pitt

Pitt's in trouble this year. Big, Big trouble this year. They are getting blown out by a very bad ND team.

I'm on the record as saying this is an NIT year for Pitt. Although, they will probably flirt with the bubble all year long, courtesy of Joe Lunardi. Take a look at Pitt's schedule so far if you don't think they will be a bubble team at best.

Pitt looks to be a bubble team this year.

wow... a real bad team (by BE standards at least) just put on a clinic. Pitt will get better with Woodall getting back in the groove, but just how much is a real question mark.

We have to kick Pitt's @ss this year. No excuses...tired of losing to them, and the players should be too.

This is the worst defensive team Pitt has had in 15 years! They are cooked because they can't out score people on a regular basis.

Rakeem Christmas' high school teammate Malcolm Gilbert a 6'11" freshman center hasn't made much of an impact.

Pitt really, really, really can't score... turns out they miss Wannamaker and Brown big time

Don't forget The Predator. They really miss his impact down low.

They don't have enforcers this year who know how to play outside of the basketball rules. Not gonna be a good year for Pitt.

BE is gonna be tough this year ... lookslike especially on the road. Providence gets clubbed by St.Johns and Pitt gets manhandled by ND! Early BE is tuff

Khem Birch leaving hurt their depth at center badly. Looks like Dixon might have his first really tough patch to deal with as a coach, which is amazing when you think about it. He replaced Howland, what, about 10 years ago ?

They still pass very well on the interior, and they still have Gibbs and Woodall at the guard. They will be tough.

This talk kind of reminds me of the talk in 2010. Pitt struggled out the gate, we were awesome, everyone said they weren't any good, and then they still kicked our ass in the dome.

This absolutely looks like the weakest Pitt team in a while; they're like 45th in the Pomeroy rankings. Their defense is 159th. But I dunno, I'm not going to feel comfortable about being them or Lville until it happens. They're still the best offensive rebounding team in the country and we struggle on the efensive glass.
