PSU 10-pt favorite

[levance2]

Pomeroy has the game as 77-67. Yuck.

On the other side of the bracket, TA&M is -6. This is one of the games OKSt really needs to win if they want to make it into the NCAAs. The Big 12 is going to be a gauntlet.

OKSt and PSU are about even in the Pomeroy ratings, so we'd be about -10 tomorrow too.

Yuck? I will be happy with a 10 point loss at this point. I just hope the kids play well and look like they are progressing.

I am expecting a larger than 10 point loss—possibly even by as much as 20 given our awful rebounding and poor defense. Hoping10 points is more realistic, however.

Have they progressed so far?

Have they progressed so far?

I think they looked more comfortable in the 2nd 1/2 of the last game, so I will say yes, that was progress. Don't get me wrong, they have a crap load of stuff to improve on. But my hope is that something looks better in tonight's game (without anything else regressing).

Have they progressed so far?

The 2nd half of UCSB was clear progress, but in large part we won that game because we benched Carr, played Milligan. Stewart and Stevenson had productive second halves as well.

This is a good test tonight. I woulda made the line 13 or 14, but I'm not sure whether Tony Carr is playing tonight. If he isn't playing, I think Pitt should definitely be competitive in this one.

Winning this would make my year.

I was going to say 14. But I don't think Vegas trusts Penn State/Chambers......and that's why I wouldn't be shocked if we won tonight. But to play it safe, I gotta go

PSU 79
Pitt 65

Ya probably around there but we'll see.

Honestly, I’m really worried pitt will lose by 20+. Pitt has not really done anything all that encouraging so far, and even if PSU is a below average P5 team they could give pitt a ton of problems since pitt has looked closer to an average low major team.

Only thing Pitt has going into this that at least we've won a game heading into this one. A little bit of confidence can only help.

I just realized we could lose to Ed DeChellis AND Pat Chambers in the same season...

Yea, that's hard to do. I like our chances more. If anyone can lose it, Chambers can.

So how did the progress look?

Wow! Was I wrong! Lost by 31!

So how did the progress look?

Hopefully it will be there today. Though I don't have the stomach to watch or listen to it today.
