Pittsburgh Bball needs OT to beat Oakland.
Pittsburgh needed a big second half and overtime to beat Oakland at home yesterday. This is the same Oakland team that already had losses to Boise State and Louisiana-Lafayette.
It seems like Pittsburgh relies on three key players for most of their offense: Talib Zanna (6'9" Forward) 14 ppg, Tray Woodall (6'0" Guard) 13.8 ppg, and J.J. Moore (6'6" Forward) 13.3 ppg. For defense, they have a 7'0" freshman averaging 2.3 blocks and 5.5 rebounds. I'm sure most of you will recognize one of the names on Pitts roster, Trey Zeigler. He is averaging around 6 points/game.
It will definitely be nice to see Michigan play an opponent from a major conference, but this Pittsburgh team seems to be more similar to their team last year (22-17) than the one they had two years ago (28-6).

Sorry, and my bad. I didn't realize that, and obviously I skimmed the OP.
All the OTs on the sidebar were getting to me, for sure...

Oakland is developing a deserved rep as a giant-killer. Don't read too much into this game.
