Most PITT fans agree that Thursday's game is going to be very difficult (based on the post below, at least)...

Wow-they are more complimentary about MU than most on MUScoop. Should be a great game.

It seems they know us pretty well. A tribute to MU's program IMO.

As they noted, Pitt's strengths match up well with our weaknesses, and vice versa.  They play smart and they play hard all game.  They are not the biggest or the most talented, but they play their system very well.  We are the better offensive team, while they are the better defensive team.  I could see this being a grind-it-out game, much like against USF.  Having the game at the Bradley Center really tips the scales in our favor.

Going to be a tough game.  That being said, I am thankful that it's at the BC.  We need this one to be a serious contender for the NCAA.  Bring excitement to the BC on Thursday MU fans....and wear GOLD!
