So you’re saying there’s a chance?

I was kind of amused at ESPN’s game predictor for the Pitt-Duke game in the Panthers’ last contest. Pitt was about a 30-point underdog or so and ESPN promptly gave the Panthers a healthy 0.8% chance of winning. I commented at the time that it was the highest such odds I can recall seeing the site churn out for a game between two conference teams.

Pitt returns to face NC State and, well, the outlook is bad but not quite as bleak as that for the Duke game.

Well, it’s a start, I guess.
