Pitt 78-46 down in their last 40 min of basketball

Rutgers comes out flat to start the second half...

I don't follow CBB closely but it always seems like Rutgers beats teams they shouldn't when they play at home in their crackerbox gym.

4 minutes into the half: Rutgers has 0 points and 6 turnovers.

11 minutes into the half: Rutgers has 6 points and 7 turnovers. Yet they still lead by 5, 45-40.

Looks like Rutgers is going to hold on. Tough to win on the road in conference play.

Pitt really doesn't look much better than last year, I hope they can at least be .500 in league play.

Dixon has not found anyone like Blair/Fields/Young who can score. Pitt still does everything else Jamie Dixon coached teams seem to do. They are a load on defense, they rebound the ball, they try to attack, but they don't have anyone who can score consistently.

The thing is Woodall looked like he was going to be that guy when he was a role player on that #1 seed Pitt team a few years ago. He has clearly regressed.

Our game Saturday at Rutgers definitely not a gimmie. Pitt off to 0-2 start but still think winning at pitt was a big quality win for the bearcats

Notre dame up 17 on Seton hall 15 min left. They should coast from here

Georgetown down 20-19 at the half at Marquette.

That Georgetown-UC game is going to be the definition of ugly.

I think you can say that about every one of UC's games from here on out. If it's not ugly it will probably be bad for us. What's our recent record against G'Town, 5-1 or something. Mick has JT3's number.

First to 45 will win that one.

Good finish on MASN between Georgetown and Marquette. Hoyas with the ball down 1 with 58 seconds left.

Marquette got really lucky, they fouled a 3 point shooter up 3 and Whittington made the first two but missed the third.

Big game tonight as either Georgetown or Pitt will remain winless in conference play.
