Gameday: Pitt vs Stanford Cardinal

Pitt 5-0 (0-0 ACC) vs Stanford Cardinal 5-1 (0-0 Pac-12)
9:30 pm

Barclays Center, Brooklyn, NY

This is the final of the Legends classic.  Stanford took care of Houston 86-76 in the other semi-final.  Their only loss this season was a 112-103 track meet against BYU.  Stanford starts 3 seniors and 2 juniors so their experience will be a test for Pitt.  They were 19-15 last season and lost in the second round of the NIT.  They should be one of the better teams in the Pac-12 this season and are picked to finish fourth.

Player to watch:  Dwight Powell tested the NBA waters last summer, but opted to return for his senior season.  The Cardinal center is averaging 15 points a game so far in 2013.

Prediction:  Pitt 82 Stanford 74

Hail to Pitt,
J.O.
