Pitt 1-0 (0-0) vs Fresno State 1-0 (0-0)
7:00 pm
Petersen Events Center, Pittsburgh, PA
Fresno State won their opener against the UC Irvine Anteaters (great name) 98-97 in overtime. The game ended on a buzzer beater from just inside half court.
I want to give a special shout out to the coach running down the sideline waving his arms at around the 19 second mark of this video.
Fresno State finished 11-19 (5-11) in the Mountain West Conference last season, but they will be improved this season. They return their two leading scorers in guards Tyler Johnson and Allen Huddleston. Huddleston is the player who hit the buzzer beater above.
Player to watch: Transfer guard Cezar Guerrero joins the team after sitting out last season. Guerrero, (#71 Rivals 2011) a 4-star recruit, originally signed with Oklahoma State but transferred after one season to be closer to home. He is a California native.
Pitt is favored by 15.
Prediction: Pitt 88 Fresno State 68
Hail to Pitt,
J.O.
My Preview: Paul George still plays for the Pacers, right? Yes? Ok we're good. Hail to Pitt.
