Open Thread: Purdue-Pitt

Hope everyone had a good holiday break. It’s been hectic.

Big week for Pitt. Starting with Purdue at home courtesy of the Big 10/ACC Challenge. When the pairings were announced in the offseason, both were projected as middle-of-the pack teams in their conferences.

Now, Purdue made a very late coup in getting Caleb Swanigan to decommit from Michigan State. They have big size up front. The Boilermakers after what had been a few years of bad injuries and some struggles made the NCAA Tourney last year and have surged to 11th nationally.

Pitt, well, we still don’t know for sure.
