Important Info on Pitt @ UD

[Nigel Tufnel]

For anyone capping this game, Chris Wright is a game time decision for UD today...which means he won't be anywhere near 100%...he has a sprained ankle and hasn't been on the court much at all the last 9 days. I don't like taking road faves, but with Wright ailing, I just don't think UD has the horses to hang with a physical Pitt team. Brian Roberts is an absolute stud, he did it all in UD's win @ Louisville....well, Louisville aint Pitt.

UD Arena is a very tough place to play...UD has flown under the radar this year and should be getting a little more consideration as a Top 25 team...this is their chance with a home game against a Top 10 opponent. But UD has counted on Roberts and Wright to carry them this year....with Wright ailing....I just aint seeing it tonight.

Just thought I'd share some info. Pitt -2.5 looks fishy at first glance....but I like it more and more knowing Wright won't be near 100%.

Good luck!!

I'm sure most people know this too, but Mike Cook (Pitt's senior and leading scorer) is out for the year with a torn ACL.

[Nigel Tufnel]

Yeah, knew about Cook. Little and Searcy from UD are also injured and not playing at 100%. I just think UD needs to be at 100% to be able to pull the upset tonight...and they aren't anywhere near 100% tonight...guess we'll see.

GL!

WOW!!! The perfect storm occurred at UD Arena tonight. Pitt had injuries, foul trouble, shot 31% from the field, 12% from 3's, they had guys in foul trouble. Having said that, I honestly think very few teams would have won at UD tonight...UNC, Kansas and maybe UCLA...that's about it. They played flawless basketball tonight. Roberts was a MONSTER! UD should crack the Top 25 after tonight's performance.

XU still sweeps them this year....:laughing: ....actually, not kidding...XU sweeps the Cryers. While tonight was utterly impressive, that's college hoops for ya...the perfect storms happen from time to time....doesn't mean **** come tomorrow.

Congrats to UD. Enjoy your moment, Cryers!

Dayton at home = :bow:

Never again. They rival Kent State as biggest home court advantage on the country - since Wright got there this year. Roberts a greta player to watch and root for. Kudos to them.
