    Default Uconn vs. Pitt

    I am an old Calhoun fan, and I think Thabeet has been great - but last meeting, Thabeet took a beating from a much smaller but tougher Blair (not smaller in muscle and weight i should add). Blair manhandled Thabeet and made the difference in the game. I picked Uconn that game and lost big - and that was in CT! Now they are in Pitt. Even though I lived in CT for years, we all know we have to remove the emotions from our gaming. Whats really at stake here? A number 1 Team being beaten by the same Team twice in one season. Its been a long time since that has happened fellas - and this one is being played in Pitt. Not sure if +3.5 is enough for Uconn - man, I hate to admit that but as I say, I gotta remove the emotion factor. I am leaning (ouch!) toward Pitt...what does everyone else think?

    If Pitt Wins it will only be by a point or 2. Take UCONN plus the points.

    I agree Pitts will win this one but i think more on the lines or 5-7 points. These games are never decided by 1 r 2 points. Thabeet got pushed around last time, look for it to happen again. Home court advantage
    Pitts 78
    UConn 73

    A lot will depend on how the refs call the game. If they let them play, Pitt will win decisively but if they call it tight than it will be a close game. I'm leaning towards them letting them play, so I'm going with Pitt.

    The teams are allowing 63 and 64 points in this situation. 64 road for UConn. 63 Home for Pitt. If u think defense that total is a little high. Im definitely thinking defense. UConn loses double digits if this one gets into the 70's.
