    Don't be fooled by the skin color or weak conference. Gonzaga is an old school team with a lot of talent. They've been able to close out against inferior teams all year.

    Gonzaga is a matchup nightmare against Pitt.

    Like at every position, and the biggest problem is that Pitt can't score.

    They can't score and they won't be able to shut down Olynyk and Harris which are two NBA players and could be the best frontcourt duo in the country.

    But as said previously, I'm not so sure they get past the Shockers in the first place.

    fools everywhere in this thread

    jamie dixon has made 3 sweet 16's in 10 years at Pitt in spite of having a team ranked in the top 10 at some point EVERY YEAR (and couldnt make the NIT last year )

    gonzaga is the trendy pick to lose in the the round of 32 because all of a sudden pitt can win in the tourney?

    id bet that 75% of the people in this thread havent watched gonzaga

    anyone wanna make a points bet and i'll take gonzaga to make it past the "third round" into the S16?

    Just out of curiousity can someone look up the following for 2 points?

    I'm at gym and on phone.

    In the past 9 seasons what teams have gone to 4 or more sweet 16's

    What was Pitt's ranking in a scoring PTs per game out of all the big east teams?

    what was pity's offensive efficiency ranking in the nation?

    Pitt will lose to Wichita St. in the 1st round. Losing in the early rounds is a Jamie Dixon specialty for Pitt

    Will give you 2 answers. Pitt was 115th in the nation scoring at 69.6 a game. Tied with Cincy for 6th overall in the Big East.

    ROFL you dick. What a bold bet you're willing to make. A #1 seed will win 2 games?? WOW, you are a real handicapper brah. Way to go out on a limb there homey.
    You sound like THE biggest tool in this thread. Stop bashing people for giving their opinions. Not everyone is a broke degenerate like you.
    Some people actually wanna talk about a few possible matchups in the tournament.

    Pitt probably favored if they meet

    Gonzaga would be a dog to like 15 teams in the tourney on neutral court

    Did Wisconsin have enough scorers to beat Indiana ??

    Pitt can't make free throws and Gonzaga can. Both play good defense, so if it is close at the end, advantage Gonzaga. And there is no way Pitt will be favored. NONE.

    They are only -215 to make the Sweet 16.

    What's -215? . That number is for degenerates like Brock who can't win money brah.
    I don't lay numbers like that ever with serious money.
    Saying it's ONLY -215 in your words doesn't even sound like a good price anyways if you were Brock. If the line vs Pitts is -4 to -5 the moneyline for that game alone will be between -200 and -220 wont it?

    Pinnacle has -245.

    What if Pittsburgh losses?
    Then ML vs. Wichita State would most likely be higher.

    You made it sound like winning 2 games for a #1 seed is basically a lock thus -215 would have a lot of value if you think that way.

    You can parlay it with another #1 seed if you don;t want to pay the juice.

    good point on Free Throws.

    Pitt shot 66.4 %
    Gonzaga 70.7%

    So let's say both teams took an average amount of about 25 free throws in the game.

    Gonzaga would be expected to make 17.67 free throws and Pitt would make 16.60 of those.

    So Zaga has about 1 full point advantage in a typical game setting

    I'd rather have Michigan State -175 to reach S16.

    -650 first game then another rather weak 2nd round game.

    Gonzaga literally handed that game to Butler on the road over 2 months ago. Who cares.. Zags have two 7 footers, Elias Harris at the 4, strong guard play in Pangos and Gary Bell, an excellent 1v1 defender in Hart, and are clicking on all cylinders coming into this tournament. This team is special. The games aren't exactly in their backyard but much closer to Spokane than Pittsburg so I'd say some benefit there. Zags would be -6 if not more if they meet Pitt.
