Irish Band of Brothers: Irish Don't Expect a "Pitt"fall Tonight at the JACC

Yeah this could be the game where the streak ends. I hope it doesnt but Pitt has been known to beat us whenever we play them. I'm on the fence with this game. I hope we win but I'm just not so sure.

Will this help ease your mind: Pitt is 9-5 when they shoot less than 50%, 7-6 when the opponent shoots more FT attempts, 2-5 when the opponent has a better FG%?

Still not convinced? Pitt is one of the worst FT shooting (67.9%) and 3pt shooting (34.9%) teams in the land.

But they're still dangerous. This is not a gimme game by any means. It's going to be a tough game and one that's going to help come tournament time.

Will this help ease yur mind? since the 2001-2002 season Notre Dame is 3 wins and 6 losses to Pittsburgh. Losing the last 6 games in a row. Just sayin.

I'm not saying it's a gimmie game, but I think Pitt is vastly overrated. Yes they have some talented players in Ramon, Blair, and Young. But they lack height and really haven't faced anyone like Harangody yet. Pitt is 1-4 in league road games, with their only win coming against St. John's! They've lost at Cincinnati and Villanova, and at home to Rutgers. At least we beat the Scarlet Knights in New Jersey.

The Panthers have been pretty hit and miss this season. Wins against Duke and Georgetown, but a home loss by 13 to Rutgers (obviously Duke was with Fields and Cook).

That's why I think the Irish will win tonight!
