The 3-1 Gators play 4-0 Pitt on Wednesday, Nov 22, 9:30pm in the NIT Season Tip-off at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. The game will be broadcast on ESPN2 or ESPNu. Pitt averages 95.5 pts/game, but have yet to play a P5 team (notably, they beat mighty Binghamton of @tampajack1 fame). Pick the score, the Most Valuable Gator (MVG), and the Stat of the Game (SoG). For this game, SoG will be rebound margin. Pitt averages 50/game and the Gators avg 45/game. Which team will rebound better and by how much? (+3 = Gators have 3 more boards than the Panthers) My pick: Gators 74 Pitt 71 MVG Kugel SoG +2
Here's a SWAG. Gators 74 Panthers 77 Pullen -3 Hears to hopin' I'm wrong but I've got a soft spot for Pitt.
