Guess I wanted to talk about a good sport
But if ya want to talk basketball, PSU will win because Chambers is going to swap all the arena calendars with march 2014 calendars causing a flop

I will be watching on ESPN U tonight!

I don't know much about Pitt. Penn State has two terrific guards.

Penn State relies so much on the three's. If they are making three's they can hang around. If not, the +17 vegas line maybe too low.

As much as I like what Coach Chambers has done at PSU, the Nits aren't ready to run with the big dogs just yet. PSU would be an underdog even if the game was at the Jordon Center. At the Pete, Pitt is just too tough.

You sure? I don't think any of these PSU players know what March basketball is.


Are Penn State's guards really that good? Or are they good for Penn State?

IMHO, they have one if the best backcourts in the country. Tim Frazier averaged 27 points a game 2 years ago but torn his achellis game 2 last year allowing him to get a redshirt. He scored the highest percentage of his teams points as anyone in the country in 2011/2012 season. D.J. Newbill averaged 16.5 a game last year and is averaging 19.5 a game this year.

I'm aware that most of you have watched 0 minutes of Penn State basketball this year but they honestly are a very good basketball team. I would be extremely surprised if this isn't a good game.

UConn's backcourt is better, and I'll say that without really seeing Penn State. Napier and Boatright and Calhoun are really good.

I didn't say they were the best but there are few that are better. Now tonight they will probably make me look like a fool but seriously they are very, very good guards.

If Pitt will win this game, it will be in the paint. Penn State is much better down low than last year but Jack, Taylor, and Travis are all C-rated players. They won't lose the game for the Nittany Lions but if Chambers expects production out of them to win the game, then he is gonna be in rough shape.

Too bad this wasn't at PSU, then maybe we could fill your arena for you. (Get it?) :)

All these Pitt fans on here bashing penn state? When's the last time your team won anything big?! Penn State won a championship the last I checked, and Psu is not known for being a basketball school
