Pitt. v. Duke thread

[emainvol]

almost game time in New York, I am picking Pitt by 7

 

[emainvol]

and both teams look like absolute garbage through the first 2 minutes.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

I took some criticism early but I'm still sticking with my 20 point win prediction

you are crazy.

scheyer sure didn't take long to start flopping

 

[emainvol]

i wonder how duke will respond to early foul trouble for henderson, and paulus on the bench

 

[emainvol]

it goes both ways, but if pitt can settle down a bit and take advantage of mistakes by duke, they can win this game comfortably

 

[VolfanMike]

Neither one of these teams look top 10 worthy...

 

[VolfanMike]

Good call!

 

[emainvol]

what an awful call

 

[VolfanMike]

That one was actually a charge.....

it wasn't awful, but it still looked like thomas was moving.

well that's a good enough reason. honestly from the look of it so far you aren't missing much

My wife is at a Christmas party right now and it her older brother's son....So I have until she gets home anyway.....Game looks like it will be a boring/garbage game...

 

[emainvol]

it was a foul anyway, but that was a helluva flop.

bigtime flop.....Although Thomas is light-years better than he was last year.....


Pitt is beating theirselves.....Duke may put this game away early..

 

[VolfanMike]

Well I may have to agree with tennesseefan....Pitt is bigtime overrated, Duke should finish them off...

 

[emainvol]

yeah, tennesseefan07, you're 20 point prediction is looking better. i fully expect pittsburgh to eventually start playing though.

 

[emainvol]

Well I may have to agree with tennesseefan....Pitt is bigtime overrated, Duke should finish them off...

i don't know that they are overrated as much as they are just playing terribly right now.

 

[VolfanMike]

You would think they would start soon.....This game will be double figs but not 20...

 

[VolfanMike]

i don't know that they are overrated as much as they are just playing terribly right now.

They are not the 9th best team in the country....Vandy would give them fits...

 

[VolfanMike]

Well Emain I gotta go......Wish me luck, and heres to my new nephew......Welcome to the world!

there is still an entire half-plus of basketball to be played, they don't necessarily look good now, but good teams respond in situations like this, i'll reserve judgment until the end.

good luck and congrats

Well, Pitt should feel good only being down 12. In the second half they need to try to get some points in transition, that seems to be working for them a lot more than in the halfcourt. It goes without saying but they certainly need to try to take care of the ball a little better in the second half. Stupid turnovers killed them in the first.
