pitt +2???.....anyone have opinions??

[c note]

Well guys call me joe public but my initial lean would be pitt+2. But then I try to look deep and say why would vegas make Wisky a 2pt favorite. I would guess public perception would be pitt should beat them. Maybe Vegas just feels this strongly about Wisky's home court and knows they wil get equal if not more action on Wisky?? People taking Wisky based on home court advantage. I know this will be a very pysical and low scoring game. I really do not see how pitt cannot pull this one off. not saying they will blow out Wisky. But in the end I feel Pitt should come away with the victory. I hope even more cause i have them to win the whole thing in the mj pool. W mich was a higher seed fav over a lower seed and they lost. if this was a regualar non-conference game during the season this would sure be a sytem play for me on Wisky.

Any input and feedback is appreciated from the experts. Thanks

thanks homedog....i am taking a guess that pitt is -2 by game time...

i would think public perception is that wisconsin would be the play given the fact of how they closed out yesterdays game and this being a very pro-wisc fan base/near homecourt, couple this with the fact that Pitt looked atrocious. hence, the opening line being at -2. IMO, and yea i am a homer, but i think pitt has real value here. everyone seems to be off the bandwagon (except gman2) and think they will relish the role of the underdog.

let me ask you, given what you saw yesterday, wouldn't you think wisconsin would be the play? they seem to thrive around their fans and pitt was going through the motions. :shrug:

Very well put jr11. Public perseption will be on Wisky at home or close to it and played better yesterday. The big concern I have for Pitt is their free throw shooting. Won't be surprised to see this game stay under 100.

thanks, boiler. would be surprised to see this game stay under 90.

Doubt you will see any more line movement towards Pitt. More likely to move back towards Wisky before game time.
