LiveBlog: Pitt-Cuse

Filed under: Basketball,liveblog — Chas @ 5:08 pm

UPDATE: Tip-off pushed to 7:40

There might be room for optimism after playing better than Pitt has in this losing streak against Marquette. Yet it was still another loss. Now Pitt is facing the #1 team in the country. A team yet to lose a game. This is likely going to be an ugly game.

Yet it is hard not to have at least a touch of hope as one other factor is in play. For whatever reason, Pitt has owned Syracuse in the last few years. Even when they looked better and were ranked higher, Pitt has found ways to win. Whether at home or the Carrier Dome. No I don’t know that it will continue, but at the very least it has to be in the back of the players and Cuse fans minds tonight. Right? Right?

It is still Big Monday. A 7:30 pm prime time game on ESPN.

Time for another Volvo Challenge. The contest is a mix of popularity  — so remember to go and vote for me in Volvo’s Biggest Fan in the Big East— and by winning challenges. Also, this weekend when College GameDay and Louisville are coming to Pittsburgh for the Saturday night game, it is my Volvo sponsored trip back to Pitt. I’m planning to be at Hemingway’s before the game along with other Pitt bloggers — probably around 6. Please try and make it by to have a beer with us.

This challenge is a rather simple question that was asked.

What are the best traditions for your alma mater and why?

Thanks for the input last week. It’s a simple question, yet also a little vexing to me. It didn’t help that my mood when working on the draft last week wasn’t the best.
