PITT vs Duke 12:00
Here is this morning’s media recap for the day:
Post-Gazette:
Pitts ACC Stretch Run Starts today
Trib Review:
Pitt & Duke Strike Similar Pose
BB: Pitt – Gonzaga Game Cancelled at Halftime
ESPN:
Pitt: Notre Dame and Iowa could both look even better if Pitt continues to win. As of right now, both the Irish and Hawkeyes earned a win against the bowl-eligible Panthers, a Power 5 school that could still finish as a 9-3 team
The Pitt News
Panther of the Week: Jordan Whitehead

Tailgating with the family and proud to say there are several vehicles with Pitt flags waving. Haven’t seen many Duke fans lol

Does the fact that a Pitt win today, favors nd, have any impact into how the refs call the game?
Duke is a BB school and the stadium will be half empty today. Does the ACC really care who wins?
Enjoy the game all.

Both teams have identical records at 6-3. Both started 6-1 (losing to B1G teams in week #3). Both are riding a 2 game losing streak.
Vegas odds favor Duke by 4.
Pitt appears to have the better resume. Duke has the more experienced HC.
Pitt has the better chance to win the Coastal title and therefore has more to play for.
Seems like a toss-up game.
I predict Pitt wins 31-30
Entertainment value – High. Pitt winning – Priceless.
Defeat Duke in Durham.
HTP!
