Here’s another reason to be saddened that BC is leaving the Big East. They are actually one of the few teams in the BE against whom Pitt has a historic winning record. Pitt has a 28-17 record in the series (23-12 since joining the BE). It is Pitt’s best record overall versus any BE foe — helped in large part by winning 9 of the last 10 meetings.

Anyways, Game Notes for the match-up are out from Pitt (PDF). The game is on ESPN at 7 pm. Sean McDonough, Bill Raftery and Jay Bilas will be calling the game. The game is a sellout.

The main storylines are well known. BC is looking to wrap up the BE regular season championship in its final season in the BE, not to mention a #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Pitt is staggering to the end of the season. Losing 3 straight for the first time since 2001. Pitt may actually be out of the top-25 tomorrow for the first time in 60 polls. Pitt is in desperate need of a win.
