(12-3, 3-0)
Last game: W 87-73 vs. (13) Notre Dame
Terrence Williams is good, Earl Clark is good, Samrdo Samuels is good. Other than the stars, they have some good role players to compliment them. Jerry Smith and Andre McGee (not related to Gary McGhee) are good jump shooters who always seem to knock down a few key threes per game. Edgar Sosa could be a star or a no-show on any given night.
Terrence Williams is a big time player (24/16/8 with 3 steals and just 3 TO's vs. Notre Dame on Monday) and he can take over a game at any time. He averages 12.3/9.3/5 with 2.5 steals and only 2.1 TO's per game at the 3-guard/forward.
Samardo Samuels is very talented, very athletic, but also very young and unexperienced. He can be a huge factor in any game, but he gets in foul trouble often.
Earl Clark might be one of the most athletic players in college basketball. The issue with him is that his talent doesn't show up to play every night.
For Pitt to win, they will have to slow Lew-uh-vull down. The Cardinals will press, HARD, for most of the game. If LeVance Fields and co. can control the turnovers and make Lew-uh-vull play a half-court style game, it will greatly benefit the Panthers.
Or maybe somebody will take over like...
In the 2007 Big East Tourney semis.
Pitt needs this win to prove it is better than Wake Forest and deserves to still be #1... And because I like to see Rick Pitino squirm.
