We are playing a good team on the road who is desperate for a win. This game and Clemson are the two most difficult games left, although none of the games are going to be gimmes.I don't have a good feeling about this game at all. But we'll see.
I don't either. I honestly think this one could get ugly.... and that is not an indictment on Pitt. I just think Wake is going to come out ultra desperate considering losing their last two and needing to beat Pitt and Duke to get back into true tournament consideration.I don't have a good feeling about this game at all. But we'll see.
Put Jeffress on Reid again. D up!!! H2P

agreed. I just don't have a feeling where Pitt is going to lead much of this gameI kinda see this going like Miami. Wake comes out hot and gets a lead, maybe not a huge lead like Miami but maintains an 8-10 point lead much of the game.
The good news about Pitt is they are quite good at defending the threeWake is a scary team because they can shoot lights out from 3 AND they have a legit big. I wouldn’t double Reid. Just like DJ Burns, make them beat us on 2s. Need to cover 3 point shooters. Monsanto is back now. He's one of the best shooters in the nation. 42 of his 43 shots this season have been 3s. He only played a few minutes vs us last time and had 6 points on 1 official shot as the other shot, he was fouled taking a 3.

I don’t like it. Of course I always worry in advance.I thought the spread would be closer. 6.5 seems like a good bet. Every game going forward is scary.
Wake is undefeated at home this year and Reid is a tough matchup for Pitt....maybe Pitt can catch lighting in a bottle with Will Jeffress' defense again.I thought the spread would be closer. 6.5 seems like a good bet. Every game going forward is scary.
They used Hildreth on Blake in the game here. He did a good job of dogging Hinson and was able to deny Blake from getting the ball much in the 1H.Down to +5.5 on Fanduel. Interesting stat, our Panthers are 15-7-2 against the spread.
Feed Blake early and often to see if he's still on a hot streak. Although, Ish was big against Wake last time we played them.
Gotta hit the boards hard, and I think they need to go at Reed to see if they can get him in foul trouble.
For now, today, feels like an ACC bubble elimination game....
If you throw enough crap at the wall, then something is bound to stick.Last year, I said the Jan 31 Wake @ Pitt game was a play-out game and I was right. This year, I said if we lost vs Clemson, we wouldn't make the NCAAT and I may be right. For tonight's game, I proclaim that the loser will not make the NCAA Tournament. Biggest regular season game in years. I remember Wake and Scottie Wilbekin's brother eliminating a Dixon 2 team from the bubble on ACC Sunday Night Hoops down there.
Indeed. In-game adjustments will be the key IMO. Steve Forbes never did much adjusting and got burned as a result. Capel did and using Jeffress to guard Reid paid off in a win. Still, I see Pitt starting Bub/J-Lowe/Zack/Blake/Fede. This lineup has been $$ and if Fede plays anything like he did vs the Cards, we might not need Jeffress immediatelyEvery game is different and takes on its own life. Be interesting to see how the one tonight evolves.

They wouldn't even need to win the next 5 to get in. Frankly, a loss here isn't as bad as many like to make it out. Go 4-1 and win a game or two in the ACC tourney and they're still in pretty good shape. Our home games are more important than this game.If you know college basketball, then you know. Pitt could lose this game and then win the next 5 and make it but that's extremely unlikely. Wake probably needs this even more since their only Q1 is @ #75 NC St which might not remain Q1. I doubt very much that both of these teams get in. There's just not enough spots with so many going from the P5 (MWC, B10, B12, BE, SEC). 30 of 38 at-large spots are from those 5.
How is the WVU coaching staff faring that I told you wasn’t qualified to coach a WPIAL team Mr College hoops?If you know college basketball, then you know.

Could be a sucker betI thought the spread would be closer. 6.5 seems like a good bet. Every game going forward is scary.
Wake only ACC team undefeated at home. H2PI thought the spread would be closer. 6.5 seems like a good bet. Every game going forward is scary.
Just win one of 3 on the road, win the home games, and win one in Greensboro.If you know college basketball, then you know.

Agree with you 100%.Just win one of 3 on the road, win the home games, and win one in Greensboro.
We do that, we will be in, I think.
I think Pitt and Wake can both make it. UVA might be the team that falls off. They might lose the next 3 and fall completely out.
Tonight is a much bigger game for Wake than Pitt. Wake needs the game more.
I kinda see this going like Miami. Wake comes out hot and gets a lead, maybe not a huge lead like Miami but maintains an 8-10 point lead much of the game.
Holding down their 3 pt shooting again is the key. This game is at their place where they have not lost this season so I like WF in this one but not by 6.5 pts. Gonna come down to the wire imo
The piano wire around Pitt's neck, Soprano's style?
Some of you thought pitt would have been a good bet plus 6.5,
