As posted a couple weeks ago, Pitt now has the press release confirming playing Indiana at MSG on December 8 in the Jimmy V Classic. The game, of course, will be on ESPN and is the main event at 9pm. The undercard is Georgetown-Butler (which may very well be the game that actually features ranked teams).
No word yet on purchasing tickets through Pitt.
Down in New Zealand, the USA U-19 team had no trouble blowing Iran right out of the place with a 106-55 win. Coach Jamie Dixon made sure everyone played, and all but one player had double digit minutes (PDF).
Ashton Gibbs had a nice game. He played 20 minutes (tied for most on the team). He shot 4-6 (2-2 on 3s) for 10 points. He grabbed 2 rebounds and 2 steals. He had 4 assists (tied for the most) and 1 turnover.
Yes, it was only Iran and the USA should blow them out, but still a good start.
I’m not a big NBA follower and have no idea what Wallace has left in his tank … I do know that the Spurs were the worst rebounding team this year, so would be surprised if DeJuan gets his minutes, with or without Wallace.
