Basketball will still be played tonight.
7pm on something called CBS Sports Network. It’s a real channel, I’m told.
Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but Duquesne may have a chance this year.
They pounded on Penn State a week or so ago. They don’t suck as bad as they have. They have even started running a bit of smack for this game.
It enters this City Game with some inherent advantages it didn’t have in the past, particularly if the speedier Dukes can dictate the pace against a Pitt team that’s statistically among the 30 slowest tempo-wise in Division I.
“We’ve got a lot of speed and quickness, more than them,” Colter said. “They’re slower than us. We can push the tempo on them a lot, especially in transition, where we can get open 3s and open shots for everybody else.”
Yes, because there is such a history of teams with higher tempo being able to dictate pace. (more…)
