Big opener in the Big East for both clubs. I'm a die hard 'Cuse follower, so this is difficult for me to say, but I think with the early line at a pick'em, ya gotta take Pitt.
It's a tough call since Pitt hasn't been worth a damn on the road against good competition, but 'Cuse hasn't been all that great on their home floor - losing to Drexel & Wichita State, neither of whom are in Pitt's class.
On top of that, 'Cuse could be without one of their best rebounders with Terrence Roberts questionable to play.
An article I read said he is expected to return tonight. That will help them some on the boards, but the Orange are still not a great rebounding squad.
I see Pitt at -1.5 on most boards right now and it's still mighty tempting to take them.
