@Pitt Saturday 7:00 pm

[New Old Guy]

Kind of surprising, but in Vegas we open as 4 point favorites. After NC State, maybe the bookies figure we come out ”highly motivated”. I sure hope so.

Bookies normally don’t move lines that much on revenge/bounce back factor. This seems to only slightly include recent loss by us and win by Pitt. Didn’t expect this but hey ….. whatever

Pitt shot out of their mind against UNC. Hopefully that doesn’t happen again. Our D will have to be good

And Ivy should be happy as this is a game we need to go big in. Likely no small lineup the way they play

You’re going to see the type of defense we’re accustomed to seeing GT play tomorrow night. I’m fairly confident of that. Hopefully they’ve all taken that last performance personally. The question, as in most games this year, is can we score enough points?

CJP told me if wished they could have played this game Wednesday morning at 8am. Pitt is probably still celebrating from their win in Chapel Hill. Either way, this is one that we need to find a way to win.

What to watch for:

- Can Rodney continue his solid play?
- Does Deivon rebound. He had been playing well.
- Will Pittsburgh be flat off the win in Chapel Hill?
- Can Deebo or Miles get hot from deep?

We’ve got to see the ball move on offense, and we hopefully our defense can create some turnovers for easy baskets.

Looks like that opening line was a mistake. VegasInsider does that at times. We're actually the underdog, currently +3.5 points.

Pitt has been playing well. They also shoot a lot of FT.

 

[SecretAgentBuzz]

I fully expect us to win. But, then again, I’m biased.

I thought we were going to be dogs. This just means we can get + money on the ML. Jackets take this one tonight!

Rodney playing well, save for the Howard'esque' foul with six seconds to go in the half. The team is running a solid stat line so far. Need 7 more team minutes to the W hug.

 

[awbuzz]

First class play not to dunk it at the end when we already had the game wrapped up.

Should have just thrown it down then gave the refs the finger.

Seriously, that was one of the worst reffing halves I've seen this year.

 

[Techwood Relict]

Well, that was a little ragged for the last 5 minutes or so, but a W! Team needed the bounce back performance.

 

[dtm1997]

Nice win for the Jackets tonight.

 

[AUFC]

Never in doubt, right?

Awesome game from Rodney tonight. He’s looked way more confident and aggressive going to the rim.

Hug it.

 

[awbuzz]

Difference in turnovers made a big difference.

 

[awbuzz]

Time to hug the W !

 

[lv20gt]

Never in doubt, right?

Nope. Team got up 18 at 63-45 and knew it was enough. And it was. Calculated.

 

[jbix80]

Great road win!!! Played with tremendous energy tonight. I thought the meltdown was coming late in the second half, but we battled through.

 

[kg01]

Who else needed a defibrillator towards the end?

My wife just laughs at this point. She doesn’t know anything about basketball, except that it has happened to us too many times. Lol

I’ve grown so accustomed to it that I’m numb to it.
