YTD: 29-23-2
Held on for the win with the points and FAU two nights......had Boise in a non posted play last night. Sorry for not posting, but I was swamped, had company in town and really could not get to a computer. Anyway, do people here really need me to tell them to take Boise at home. Those dudes are like 80% at home since hitting the big board 10 years ago. Obvioulsy, last nigt is not part of the record, but with the good times rolling the last couple of nights, I am taking a stab with tonight's games:
Pitt +13.5 over USF. I trust a Wanny coached team as little as the next guy. But, are they any less talented than their Big East brethern. Despite the loss in the opener to BG, would it really surprise anyone to see all this talent come together, cobble together enough wins and win the Big East. Actually, dont answer that. But, if their coach was anyone other than the Big Stache, nobody would feign surprise at that possibility. My point is, I dont think Pitt is going to be blown out in Big East play. USG is not as cracked up as their ranking. Selvie wont be at full strenghth, if he only goes at all, and I think that loss will allow Pitt to have enough success on offense to stay in this one. On the other side of the ball, I still dont trust Matt Grothe. Oh sure, he's a total gamer and he can be explosive. But, he can be explosive for both sides. I think the tough, talented and aggressive Pitt D can harass him and maybe force a big mistake or two to tip the balance in this game. Either way, I expect a pretty good game tonight, close throughout, so I will take the hefty head start. Hopefully, I wont be banging my head against the wall because of Wanny when its over.
Good Luck!!:weed:
