Day 1 of conference play

[Sean Miller Fan]

Saturday
noon: ESPN2 - Clemson @ Miami
noon: ACCN - BC @ Wake
noon: CW - Syracuse @ Notre Dame
2:00: ACCN - GT @ UNC
2:00: ESPNU - Pitt @ VT
2:15: CW - UVa @ SMU
4:00: ESPNU - FSU @ NC St
4:00: ACCN - Stanford @ Cal

Sunday
6:00: ACCN - Duke @ Louisville

- Hey, ACC Sunday Night Hoops is back for 1 night only! The Big Ten literally plays a conference games every single day but the ACC cant be bothered. Jam everything in on Tue/Wed/Sat with this one exception.

- For Pitt - this is a must not lose. VT and BC are the 2 least talented teams. But its on the road and if we have a cold shooting night, we can lose. Pitt isnt good enough to just show up. We dont defend or rebound very well so that leaves you susceptible to losing to anyone if you are cold shooting.

- Syr/ND - used to be a great game in the Big East. I was looking for ND to take a step but Burton is out for awhile. Still going ND here. Autry should be fired after this season.

- GT/UNC: not sure UNC is good. But I know GT isn't

- Maybe biggest day ever for SMU. First ACC bball game then the ACCG. As bad as UVa is, I wouldn't be surprised if they won this won 48-46. 10.5 point spread is too much.

- FSU/NC St - best game of the day. Bubble game potentially

- Cal & Stan playing this early is odd. Would have been better to do Jan/Feb at 10PM so everyone can watch.

I think Miami beats Clemson tomorrow. Classic let down spot for Clemson, Miami is due for a win. Clemson not the same team away from home.

I’ll take NC St in that bubble game as well.

I think Pitt wins a close, kind of nerve racking game but we have the better players at almost every spot on the court and VT isn’t anything like the 2 teams we’ve lost to this year. I also think the crowd will be dead after losing to Vandy this week and that team generally being down.

Yea, I can see Miami beating Clemson. They still might have the 3rd best talent in the league. They were thought so highly of that they are in the Jimmy V vs Tennessee next week. Hide the women and kids for that one! I have a really bad feeling Miami is going to like 14-6 or 15-5 and mess up the whole league. They may be 3-7 in a few days. That's like Kenny Payne bad.

I think Pitt wins too but its going to be one of those games where we are up like 6-8 the whole game and always a stop and bucket away from it being really close.

Not that this is critical, but Pitt will need a decisi

Pitt -8.5 but kenpom has them favored by more. Going to be tough to maintain their current metrics without Dunn because they aren’t as good as their current numbers indicate. They just need to find a way to win.

I think we win by about 20 tomorrow.

Yeah. Same. Pitt played poorly at State. VT is truly awful this year. Pitt will roll them.

Clemson with solid road win. ND and Wake hold at home. Ohio State with solid rebound win against Rutgers. Wisconsin hanging tough at Marquette. Michigan all over Iowa. Pitt will be fine.
