Does Pitt have any chance to win at the chicken box tonight? I have not seen Pitt play this year, I was surprised to see them ranked right now.
#20 Pitt vs #21 UL
- Thread starter SmoothRunner32
- Start date
From what I've seen this year, when in doubt, go with the home team. Of course Pitt has a chance, but I do not see a win there.
if they're a ranked team, then I'd say yes -
But betting the Cards get a win tonight -with some help

Pitt is 14-1 and 3-0 in the ACC. UL is the favorite but hoping Pitt at least gives them a scare.
I would say UL should win fairly comfortably, by 8 or more. They seem to shoot the ball much, much better when playing at home than they do anywhere else. That said, I didn't expect Wake Forest to give UL a game at the Chicken Bucket and if they would have hit their FT's they would have won. Maybe Pitt can pull it off, but I would be surprised.
Hate to say it, but we should be rooting for UL. Kentucky might end up on that line between a 3 and a 4 seed, or maybe a 2 and a 3. While it might not matter, when in doubt always take a lower seed. Premium wins would come into play, along with other factors.
Root for Louisville ? Get outta here. The door is that way --------->

You on Crack? I'd just assume UK sat at home for the ncaa than root for anything Loserville..
Pitt is a damn good team and could easily beat UL.
Both teams schedules look very similar. Pitt, like UL, has played and beat a bunch of cupcakes, with a loss to Purdue. As stated, UL has also played and beat a bunch of cupcakes and lost to Mich. State, UK, and Clemson. Neither team has much to stand on from a quality standpoint, and I'm not sure the winner of this game is really helping their cause much, but a W is a W.
"Ranked teams" probably shouldn't even be in the conversation with either of these teams right now, but none the less they're both in the top 25.
That being said, I'm gonna say UL pulls it out at home with something like 73-67.

Pitt plays an uptempo style now and will out score losserville. Go Pitt.
His scenario makes sense and if I had that knowledge in advance, maybe I could root for looievile just once for the benefit of the Cats. But I'd definitely have a barf bag handy.

So you guys are going root for UL even if we lose more games? I don't know how this traitorous bull sh*t works in your minds?
Are you insane? UK's schedule is fine, our RPI is high. I hope UL loses every game they play, just a despicable university (from top to bottom) and fanbase.
Rooting for Louisville is not going to help them win/lose. So yeah, I'll be happy if they win because it will help my team. If this were last season and we were a stone cold lock for that top overall seed, I would pull for IU over UL, but it's not. We can use all the help we can get.
Our RPI is fine right now, but there's no guarantee that it stays that way. Plus, if UL starts dropping games, that has an affect on our RPI. Common sense.

huge difference between accepting it if UL wins and actively wanting them to win.
you know I respect your opinions and generally really like your posts. At least I hope you do.
I get what you're saying - but I just can't; if they had anything worth respect maybe......but no, I want them to lose every game.
I would never root for U of L to win anytime in any sport. Nobody hates their fans as much as I do.
That said Pitt has no chance. They aren't losing at home after the Clemson loss.
I haven't looked but they are probably a double digit favorite and they will win very easily with a likely assist from the zebras.

I think rooting for UL to lose every game is giving them too much respect. They don't deserve to be respected. Heck, their program is in such shambles we shouldn't even give them the time of day.
I'm almost at the point where I want to put my arm around them and with a light fist bump to their chin tell em "it'll be ah-ight lil buddy".

Rooting for them has nothing to do with anything. And there is no situation I would ever root for the tards. I hope they lose the rest of their games for infinity.
Again, rooting for rivals because of SOS and RPI is loser talk. Kentucky has the chance to carve its own path.
F Louisville. Go Pitt.
(I think the Cards win by 10+)
