Still a big game tonight. Backyard Brawl, basketball edition. Going to hit this quickly.
Pitt is a 3-point favorite, which is a mild shock to me. It’s going to be harder to have the freshmen jolted by the first time the musket goes off, when it’s revealed as part of the deal in the paper the morning of the game.
The layoff is still an issue. Pitt will have to very likely whether a slow start against a team that plays much better at home then on the road.
The Hoopies have reloaded and stepped up far faster than expected.
It will be very interesting to see how the match-up of the 1-3-1 goes with Gray, when there isn’t a big Center that can step out as far as Pittsnogle could. Pitt hasn’t won in Morgantown since the 03-04 season (6-22 all time at the Concrete Toadstool).
Ron Cook continues throwing off my equilibrium with a column lauding Antonio Graves.
