Pittsburgh game thread

That Syracuse game is my go-to basketball porn when we have several games of bad shooting in a row. I’ve watched that game way too many times the last several years.

It’s part this and part “Oh wow Pitt isn’t completely abysmal like usual.” Surprising after assuming Pitt is an afterthought the past few years.

We are at the point of the season where every game is now THE most important game of the year, for me

But I get the sentiment for sure. No easy games left in the league. Maybe BC at home or whatever

I’m not saying it’s an easy game – definitely not. Any game on the road is worrisome, even BC. (Not sure about Louisville.) Just remembering when playing the #70 team would have been viewed as one of the “easier” games on the schedule…

I think if you get to a point as a fan base that everyone is super confident every game about blowing out anyone… that fan base has officially become the Duke fan base and they are all insufferable.

Let’s revel in the anticipation and suffering of thinking we will still lose to Louisville when they are the next game… it shows we are still grounded in reality and humble in nature.

Just remember when we were the 70th team and were viewed as an easier game on others’ schedule.

I get the point you’re making is about the ACC, not about us, and it’s a valid point. It’s also factually correct that this is one of our toughest remaining games, though certainly not THE tough one. I do think it is potentially one of the most important games the rest of the way if we hope to win the ACC and get a high-ish seed. I think we learn a lot about the team tonight, even though it’s just one game. Since Vegas (which some are calling an aberration), we have 1 good tough win against Michigan, 2 decent losses, and some meh performances against worse competition than we face tonight.

Not looking forward to watching Capel effectively work the refs and get his way. It was wild watching in person last year. Really worked.
