CT is poised to make waves at Pitt much the same way they did at Prov. and at ND recently.
So what is the difference? Except for a 9 point loss where they were outscored by 20 from the free throw line CT has been rolling.
Biggest difference is Marcus White sharing MUCH more time with H Armstrong, S Tooles, Mike Hayes, and Justin Brown...........He's scoring more than they do and is a FORCE (14 reb in 24 min in last) He's making Emeka Okafor's job easier......likes the blocks as well and is definitely making this a stronger team.....46 reb per game in last 5 for CT. They'll beat Pitt on the boards.
Also.......Ben Gordon is becoming more comfortable at the point.(fewer turnovers). Foul shooting is improving and Tony Robertson is becoming a hard man to sit...both he and Gordon can take most... off the dribble and Rashaad Anderson (frosh) is getting more time to display his offensive prowess (22 pts and 6 3s in last). CT has all kinds of weapons on the perimeter (4 guys who shoot the 3 at 40%) and are getting very tough ........inside and out......just at the right time of the year.
Taliek Brown is nursing a broken finger but in truth ...CT is much better now and Taliek's time should be limited now.
If it comes together CT is Very capable of winning this game!
