That whole Indiana-Pitt game tomorrow at Madison Square Garden is going to be a battle between rebuilding teams. The Hoosiers are coached by the still hateable Tom Crean.
Catch a podcast about the game between Galen of CrimsonCast.com and myself. I explain to Galen exactly why and how long Pitt’s hatred for Crean goes back. It was a good hire for the Hoosiers, but I still hate that guy.
Here’s a direct link to the audio file.
If not, I will be reminding myself of better times with whiskey and Sam Young highlights.
I do expect Pitt to play up to their competition as they did against Texas … but no doubt that we spoiled Pitt fans willave to be very patient this year.
This calendar year, Pitt just missed a Final 4 appearance and a BCS Bowl by a total of 3 points … without getting the best recruits in either sport. Yes, maybe if we had one more top recruit in each sport, we would have reached the summit in both cases …. but I doubt that it isn’t for a lack of effort by either coaching staff.
Before last season, 6’11 Zeke Marshall from McKeesport spurned a Pitt offer to go to Akron, and thus far, has played fairly well .. the latest against Texas A&M, a pretty good team. Just how much could we use him now?
