thoughts on PITT

underrated. I think it is pretty telling that their only 2 losses came in close games to ranked teams. Yes they lack quality wins but IMO they have stepped up to the plate and performed well given the schedule they have and proven that they can compete with any team

I haven't watched them a ton but here's what I've got.

Being a Marquette fan I've seen Pitt a lot over years. They could always bang you around and rebound but had some scoring. Then last couple years for some reason the wheels kinda fell off suddenly. Mostly result to not much consistent scoring I believe.

So this year I had been hesitant based on their record and two eye test games(pen state and Cincy). Seemed like same lack of offense but great D team but not great.

Now I've seen them a few more times and I like them more. I think they just really just know their roles. Patterson is obviously a stud but the rest of the team just seems to know what they can and can't do. Robinson has impressed me.

I'm starting to think they could really be a dangerous team come March with their toughness and rebounding if they consistently find ways to score.

Yeah....I agree here. I can't wait to see how SU does @ Pitt. I think SU has a good team, but it will be great to see them under the type of pressure that place will put on a team.

I think that game will tell us more about Pitt then the Clemson game did. Treat SU like they did Clemson...and there won't be any doubts what everyone thinks of Pitt.
