Monmouth is coached by King Rice, a three year starter for Dean Smith in the late 80s, early 90s. Shavar Reynolds (Seton Hall) and Walker Miller (UNC) are impact transfers and George Papas brings shooting. Monmouth is a fast team that could give Pitt a lot of problems.

Predictions:

• Reynolds, Papas and Miller combine for 50 points but need a lot of shots to get there
• Hugley records another double double
• After some bad luck, Pitt finds some way to win the game in the final minutes
