GT vs. Pitt

[Secret of the Ouse]

I think we should be very thankful that we get both of these teams at home.

I agree, I think we are very lucky the schedule fell into place like that this year

we were always able to compete with Pitt due to their slow prodding defense led by Gray. Pitt is much faster & more physical this year.

The more I watch Georgetown, the less I am impressed with them.  Hibbert is good, yes, but their guards are average, and they would have no prayer against us if we pushed the tempo.  We showed the blueprint of how to beat a team with a great big man this Saturday against ND.  Let Hibbert get his points, but shut down their guards, and we will beat the Hoyas at home, and I think by around ten or so.

Pitt, on the other hand, is playing really well considering their injuries.  Fortunately for MU, we have them at home, and we know that the crowd will be into that one, as will the team, since it is a rivalry game.

We do luck out having both of these teams only once, and both at home.

Any chance we get Kinsella back for those games?

Screw that!! I want Joe Nethen!!

Hibbert has yet to CARRY Georgetown against a good team. Some 1st team All-American!

I am worried that we are going to get KILLED on the glass when we play pitt...they always seemed to have someone get their hands on the ball.

If we get on those boards like our guys did against ND, then I'm not worried at all.  If we play like we did against WVU, then yeah, we'll get slaughtered... by atleast half the Big East.

IIRC, didn't ND outrebound us by 10?  I'm not saying Georgetown isn't beatable, but outrebounding them is a very tall task.
