PrintPittsburgh Panthers at South Florida Bulls, Feb 8, 2012 7:00 PM EST
Pitt takes on the upstart South Florida Bulls on Wednesday night. I'm not that sold on USF since they haven't beaten anybody at all. Their best win was probably against Villanova on the road and the Wildcats don't even have a winning record.
But what does scare me a bit is the fact that the Bulls have lost only one game at home. They were very competitive in that game, too, falling to UConn by only three.
And while Augustus Gilchrist isn't a superstar, he's a big body that could give Pitt's thin frontcourt some trouble.
The biggest concern I have is Pitt coming out sluggish and believing some of the press clippings that are finally starting to surface. If they come out hungry as they did against West Virginia on the road, this should be a win.
Check in with your pre-game thoughts on how you think Pitt will fare and then stop back to comment during the game.

Slow start
Pitt struggling a bit early scoreless in first three minutes

Shocking
another slow start. But if we can have the same result as we’ve had recently, I’m alright with it

14-14
With 7 1/2 minutes left.
Bad. Basketball.

Not looking good
And really not the team we can lose to.

This is beyond awful
Pitt doesn’t win this game, you can forget about the tourny. I need more desperation from Pitt on the offensive front.
To be honest
As horrible as Pitt’s defense was, to South Florida’s credit, they just had an incredible defensive game. That was perhaps the best defensive game I have ever seen in a college basketball game.
Yeah
I totally agree – USF played well defensively, particularly in the second half

Meant to say
As bad as Pitt’s “offense” was. South Florida’s defense was just un-real.
Yucko

This is what South Florida did to Pitt's NCAA tourny chances tonight

As bad as it looks ...
it ain’t over. I wrote this team off once before and not going to do it again after only one loss.
When there were eight games left, I said if Pitt went 6-2, I thought they’d get in. That still holds true and if they can find a way to beat either Louisville or UConn, that might be enough to do it.
