The two sets of digits on the scoreboard are the only thing that matters.<BR/><BR/>Villanova is arguably playing the best basketball in the country right now (if Pitt shoots 32.8% on Saturday I think they'll lose by 10), but how will they will react with the game tied and 60 seconds remain? We know that Pitt knows how to handle this situation. Anyone looks great winning by 20, it's the true test of a team's meddle and character when their backs are against the wall and the clock is ticking down. Pitt has been there, and I have a feeling like they are going to be there again...I know who I'm going to believe in when that time comes.Someone Somewherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12925623709780529874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-66957584750851271412009-03-27T13:20:00.000-04:002009-03-27T13:20:00.000-04:00No one is talking about Sam Young making both end ...No one is talking about Sam Young making both end of a 1&1 at the end.<BR/><BR/>For all the poor free throw shooting we've seen over the last 8 years, it was great to see Sammy sink 'em both to put the nail in the coffin.<BR/><BR/>Nick sounds like a Penn State fan.

Ice water!<BR/><BR/>It was nice to see DeJuan play like himself in the second half. I almost feel like there's a concerted effort to have him play a softer game in the first half in the Tournament. It feels like Dixon is saying, "If we can be even without our big guy banging down low, then we should be able to win in the second half when he really goes to work."<BR/><BR/>Don't know if that's the best strategy, but it is keeping him out of foul trouble, though his scoring is down over the last two games.<BR/><BR/>I think the regional final will be a typical rough and tumble Big East game.

You just knew they were going to pull it out when that shot went down. I almost don't even care that he played a rather poor game to that point (and, to be fair, the last two games as well). Considering the pressure they had coming into this tournament, that shot was epic.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16526372394862771098noreply@blogger.com
