#11 Louisville (-1.5) @ Pittsburgh

[unde0087]

Have to back Ville here for a couple reasons.

First, this team only has one thing to play for, regular season championship. With 4 games remaining and 2 of those games being against Miami and Virginia, Ville can't afford to drop a game to lowly Pitt as they probably need to win out or at least 3 of 4. This is the tournament for Ville so I think you see a focused bunch.

Second, while Ville has struggled on the road this season all those games were against better teams. Ville has owned Pitt for years as you have to go back to 2010 to find the last Pitt win. The other troubling thing for Pitt is they are an alarming 0-5 vs top 25 teams this season with one of those losses coming in a beat down by Ville earlier this conference season, in a game Pitt barely scored 40 points against Ville defense.

This has the look of the Kansas game last night. Two teams at 2 different levels.


I think Ville eventually gets some separation and wins this with defense.


Thoughts and prayer appreciated

I wrote some on this, in my thread, I am on Pitt 1h...

I think you'll get a better line @ the half...

I am already have a c note on Ville for game, I have faith Ville will win this. Maybe not a 18 point route but think they win and cover this

I think If I was going to bet UL, I'd wait until 2h. Cards coming off that emotional 2h rally against Duke, and now gotta go into the zoo. This is a huge game for Jamie Dixon's group and you bet that place will be rockin.

Louisville is generally slow starters outta the gate and then close hard, factoring in the the previous mentioned emotions, I'd lean Pitt 1h and UL game.

Pitt 1h +0.5 $210/$200 for me

hope we both win...

I didn't have anything on the 1st half, the play is on Ville for game. Still have 20 minutes to go

Think the end of the half told the story of this game. Tough spot though with our starting 4 (Spalding) out and only 3 real big men left to play. Think Louisville wins this game by 7-8 now

The defense starting to shine powell, I am liking it

good luck with that. Louisville played with 1 walk on and Stockman down the stretch with a SF playing a 4. Better hope the Louisville bigs get in quick foul trouble again

[unde0087]

Ville looking poor in the 2nd half, wish this game was on espn, blows not being able to watch

[TPowell]

amazing how bad the whistle has been. 21 FT's to 3. Every Louisville drive is a no call, exact opposite way on the other end. I just don't get it.

[unde0087]

Nail biter down the stretch

Villekid, I almost hope they win the regular season to stick it up the ass of the university for the ban pal
