OK, this was a writeup in someone else's thread that I just came acroos, but this is EXACTLY what I was thinking. It will save me the time, because I would've hit all the same points, this guy must be a genius if he thinks like me
Thank you sir for this writeup, well said. ![]()
THIS WAS A REPLY INVOLVING THIS GAME IN SONBP2 THREAD:
Love the time and effort and research. Will be looking into the First Half Over. Like all the plays so far except this one. You said PITTSBURGH HASNT BEEN IMPRESSIVE ON EITHER END. Granted they had a walk through in round one and were less then impressive. Round 2 my god Oklahoma State was one of the hottest teams in the country, and became solid with Moses in the lineup the last 15 games. Name a team that would have the mental toughness to go in tied at half time when its opponent hits 11 3s in one half? Granted that means they didnt play great D, but look at any game where a team hits freakin 11 3s in a half and isnt down atleast 10-15 points? They hung 80 points so themselves so I think that means they played pretty well on the offensive end. I just think this team is so experienced and they have what most teams do not. A PG, A wing Man, and a Big man. When Lawson is healthy UNC can say that. Pitt has never been impressive or pretty all year long or ever for that matter. What scares me, and I think the reason the line is this high is the A-10 sucks and was down this year. Xavier itself is down this year. Look when they actually stepped up AWAY from home or stepped up in competition what happened to them. They didn't beat a Solid A-10 team away from home Losses to Dayton, Deq, Charlotte, and Richmond. You serious with that? Lost to Duke & Butler by Double Digits. Now, you can look back months and months ago in the preseason tourney and say "HEY, they beat Memphis and Missouri" Very true, they did. I don't take much from preseason tournaments and I think its safe to say both Memphis & Missouri are 5x better at this point in the year, where I feel Xavier has declined.
Portland State sucks, don't give me their solid. THey are below average. I'm close to FSU and I will tell you Wisconsin is atrocious if not for whitey having a career game heaving 3s they lose by 15 to FSU. Don't take much stock in beating some of the last teams to make the tournament in a 12 and a 13. I think a lot of people are down on Pitt right now, and that is usually when teams strike.
