Pitt bulldozes through to Elite 8 ...
Congratulations to Pitt, but .. i can't help wondering that this style won't work against Duke. The refs won't let Pitt's bruisers beat up Duke, Coach K will whine and they will shoot a zillion free throws.

And unlike Big East teams, Duke doesn't miss free throws.

Solution? Villanova beats Duke! 04-rock

Congratulations to the Panthers and their long-suffering bb fans. Got to feel great to see them in the Elite 8.

Cheers,

I know why Pitt won. Those Xavier uniforms looks like UCONN uniforms. I called it on the Fields 3 in the end. I said c'mon Fields give me that 3 you always pull out of you a** down the stretch and he did LOL.

Good ugly win but that's the way Pitt plays one way or another.

This is style is the perfect style to use against Duke. Duke struggles against defensive teams and physical frontcourts. In fact, if Duke advances, that is the perfect team for Pitt to play because all of the teams they have played have wanted to slow the game down and get physical, which Pitt can do, but Pitt wants to get out and run. Duke wants to get out and run. That spell trouble for the Blue Devils. I think it's a moot point anyway because I expect Villanova to deal with Duke.

I wouldn't call it bulldozing, when the Panthers had to come from behind in the last minutes to win. It's a win, though. That's what matters...

You do realize that Villanova shot better from the line for the season then Duke right? And Villanova is in the Big East. And I'd hardly call a 72% FT shooting team a team that doesn't miss from the line.

Pitt beat Dook last year at the Garden. I worry about Villanova though, they have been a pain in Pitt's butt for years.

Down 8 at the half, Xavier went scoreless for like 6 min to start the second while missing a lot of close shots. I couldn't believe Fields took that shot... then hit it! The game finished at 1:30 over here.

I don't care how they got there, they just did. 02-13-banana

Duke was garbage last night. I kind've predicted the blowout 3 minutes into the game. They can't rebound if their lifes depended on it. Coach K really needs to recruit an inside presence or they're going to have early exits like last night year in and year out. Right now the ACC is North Carolina and then the rest.

Thank you Pitt 04-bow I'm tired of hearing about Xavier's success while UC keeps sitting at home.

I do admire everything X has done, and they played very well last night. But, at the same time, I'm really relieved that I don't have to see them in the tourney one more day.
