Pitt - west virginia

[Real Chilly Podcast]

I would want uconn to beat georgetown but lose to louisville.  We have the head to head win over louisville but still have to travel to uconn.

in terms of teams pushing us in the standings, I am really torn on what could happen

-I think that UConn and Louisville have the most talent of the bunch, and have the most potential to put together a really hot streak... however they have the toughest schedules going out, each yet having to face Cuse twice (**the fact that Cuse has those 4 games still on the docket is the reason MU has a shot at the BEast 'ship) -- these two squads are less mentally tough, and seem to fold up after a rough patch, so I say to root for these two teams to lose now, to kill their will... whereas-

-WVU, ND, GTown, Cinci, USF all have easier second half schedules than UConn and LVille (WVU's is pretty nasty though too), but I also think these teams are far less likely to get hot and run the table the way UConn and UL could.  You can pretty much count on these teams to each lose at least 3 games, and even if two or three do go (6-3) or so, if we lose more than 3 also and allow one of these teams to pass us, we'll have played poorly enough to not deserve that spot at/near the top anyways


CliffNotes:  Root for UConn and LVille to lose now to keep them off a roll... expect attrition losses from the other 5 teams in the hunt to keep them off our back
