I’m home, but with the kids. That means I can’t be liveblogging. Dennis is at the Pete.
Pitt is just not allowed to lose this game. The wife’s oldest brother is a huge honkin’ Ohio State fan, which is annoying enough. To have her other brother with direct bragging rights just cannot happen.
Halftime: Pitt killing right now. 47-24.
Or as Gus Johnson put it: Pitt’s not messing around.
Oral Roberts, despite having similar inside size, means nothing on offense. The Golden Eagles are continually just hung out shooting long jumpers.
Pitt is shredding this vaunted ORU defense, like they are nothing.
They are taking uncontested jumpers and just blowing past every ORU player.
McGhee has already seen some action late in the first half — and scored.
I expect to see Wanamaker in the second half.
So far, this is just the perfect game to keep only one eye upon.
I really think we need to come out amped. All too often we ease our foot off the gas and let teams back into games. Here’s to another 20 minutes of solid basketball…
Hell, I can’t wait to see Gilbert Brown in the rest of this tourney. He’s coming of age quite nicely.
The team looks disinterested up by so much with only 7 minutes to go.
ORU making a run here and there is to be expected with our foul trouble/lack of interest at this point and whatnot.
23 pts, 4/7 from 3 point land.
Bring on MSU.
I’m going to savor this one for a bit, though, before letting my ingrained Pitt neurosis get the best of me 😉
Didn’t we kick the shit out of Wright State in the first round last year too?
