The Snellvillain Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I have a feeling they're going to be the ones to wreck my bracket.Oklahoma State is running up and down the court with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott da 6'0 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 It's all about match-ups. Oklahoma St. matches up well with Pitt because they have the guards that can shoot the three-ball and run a lot of ball-screens to move Blair out of the middle. While Pitt will dominate the boards and paint against Oklahoma St., the Cowboys can negate much of that by knocking down three-pointers (9-for-15 already). I'd be really shocked if this continued. I can't see State keeping up this three-point pace. I think Pitt's strength and toughness will wear the Cowboys down.As for the coming rounds (if Pitt survives), match-ups will improve. Next round they'll either get Wisconsin or Xavier. Both of those are great defensive teams, but don't have the offensive fire-power to put Pitt in trouble. But Pitt is going to have to start getting out on the shooter in this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott da 6'0 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 10-for-16 now. Sam Young is keeping Pitt in this. However, surrendering nearly 50 points in the first half is inexcusable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
