RTC Live: Villanova @ Pittsburgh

Game #162. The Keystone State rivalry takes on additional meaning this Saturday with Pitt defending its home court for a Big East title.
Welcome to a rainy Saturday in Pittsburgh at the Petersen Events Center for a Big East match up between Pittsburgh and Villanova. Join us for a game that will determine all of the regular season marbles in the Big East. Pittsburgh has met preseason expectations, whereas Villanova has fallen short. These two teams want to win, but for different reasons. Pittsburgh wants to close out the regular season on top and win the title outright. Villanova wants redemption and a chance to salvage a disappointing season. In their last game, Pittsburgh won by three, but unfortunately for Villanova, it didn’t include the service of Pittsburgh’s leading scorer, Ashton Gibbs. This is really anyone’s ball game though. The edge should go to Pittsburgh, especially at home, but I don’t want to discount how much this victory means to Villanova prior to the postseason and NCAA Tournament.
