Saturday: Pitt +5 vs. #1 Florida - Typical Pitt line

[gopolks]

Why is the over so small? why are the bookies saying its going to be so low scoring?

[swag1982]

Who cares who the public is on Vegas doesn't need certain teams to cover they've already made a shit ton of money this tournament in the first 2 days, these guys that just fade the public are simply retarded.

i will be followign whatever pick you post. got on your harvard one but we lost with the new mexico one. lets go.

ha ur a fckin laugh and a half pubic fading only might be retarded but blindly tailing someone on sbr forumis real sharp, more like brain dead

Why do you think.

[jtoler]

When Pitt loses its usually close, 2 losses by more than 5 pts. Think they match up with Florida very well, both are similar in alot of ways, both play slow for the most part, Florida shoots better and if Pitt doesnt get most of their shots from within 10 feet today then theyll more than likely lose. Can really only count on Patterson as a scoring option, Florida has an assortment. Dont understand especially this year the more talented teams arnt running like they should, Arizona, Florida, teams stacked with talent should be running every chance they get, theyd beat teams by 30 often, yet they slow it down and thats why teams hang around, especially Arizona, and have so many close games and lose when if they ran they wouldnt. Pitt and 5 pts sounds decent on paper but I dont trust them.

Nice write up I'm in AK so most pitt or Florida games are way to early for me to really get into I mostly watch PAC 12 MW or WCC games but doesn't pitt guard the paint well if so it could be very close or even an upset Florida barley covered tenn and IMO pitt is quite a bit better than tenn

Why do you think.

I have no idea, thats why I asked, the NewZealand tab thinks there will only be 123 points scored? seems low to be in this round.

Its because both play at a slow pace and both are good defensively. Both can also have droughts where they dont score for minutes at a time. That usually makes for a low scoring game.

makes perfect sense.

the only problem with these tournament games is, if it's a 5-8 pt game with 2 minutes... that leads to 10-20 ft attempts...

Good point

[pokerwhiz90]

Good point

thanks, i see a game like 72-63 florida or something like that, even if this game is a 1 point game until the final 5 minutes - florida just keeps everyone really close for some reason or another

[McCarthyFam]

Anyone see pitt almost blow that lead against UNC at the end of the game in the conference tourney? They struggled getting the ball across against the press. I expect Florida to do the same here. Could get ugly.

Ummm... what game? Kansas/EKU they let the clock expire down 11 with 20seconds left. Kansas St. let the clock expire down 7... Oddly nobody is using the Foul method full out this year. kind of frustrating! hopefully in the second round its different.

Good post.

This is not your typical Florida team. Typically they are guard heavy and rely on their fullcourt press and 3 pt shooting. This team has much more size than previous squads except for the back to back championship teams.

I can't wait for the gators to just gape these imposters from Pitt.

What does gape mean? LOL

[Chi_archie]

Pitt hasn't dealt with too much full court pressure this year.

Robinson has a very good handle as a PG, but he's not very quick.

Wright can be explosive, but he can be erratic

the other gaurds coming off the bench would be Chris Jones and Josh Newkirk... and they are both freshmen.

tough to handle the pressure on that big stage as a frosh

[Ghenghis Kahn]

What does gape mean? LOL

it has something to do with your anus. use your imagination...

[Chi_archie]

Zambia and Patterson can win this for Pitt.

Patterson has tended to choke in big games, this is his chance for redemption

[t-wizzle]

I went with Pitt +5.5

[jtoler]

I played UF at -4.5.

[t-wizzle]

I played UF at -4.5.

5 pt win???

[jtoler]

5 pt win???

Or more hopefully.

[t-wizzle]

Or more hopefully.

No.

[Goat Milk]

Wizzle, I took Florida -5. Should I hedge my bet with Pit 2nd half and if so why

[Beetlejuice]

word.

Sorry didn't see this. Hope you didn't do it. Pitt was so stupid, they wanted until the end of the shotclock every possession and got the worst looks.

[KRIT]

It was only fitting that Pitt ended the year on a loss like this. The old Pitt team from a month ago showed up today.

that's pretty well how this game worked out.

Spot on as usual

That's exactly what Pitt did. Why? I don't know but you're gonna get this back on the Louisville game, right? What do we have?
