Tip off at 7pm. Comment away before during and after.

HALFTIME UPDATE: Pitt up 39-31.

Syracuse’s big men are not doing anything. McNamara and Devendorf seem to be keeping them in the game.

Gray seems to be every other game or so with foul troubles. Right away you could see the extra pass and looking for the open guy. Lesson appears to have gotten through. Need to keep it up in the second half. Taking it inside a lot and drawing fouls. I think ‘Cuse have 3 guys with 3 fouls.

FINAL UPDATE: Pitt wins 80-67.

Krauser went off. Once again he set the tone. He gave up the ball early and the team took its cue making extra passes. Almost karma-like the way it came back. Krauser gave up some early chances to make sure everyone got involved and he scored a career high 32 points.He also had 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 4 turnovers.

Pitt shot close to 45% while holding ‘Cuse to just under 40%. The big sign that Pitt was playing their game: A/B% was 76%. Pitt shared the ball and found the open look. It probably would have been a bigger blowout if Gray could have been dropping the basket inside.
