[NU Sports] If Pittsburgh wins does the "curse" get broken?

[John A. DeGroat]

Having watched the Penn State, Michigan and Illinois games, I came away 
with some conclusions.  First the Penn State loss seems to have taken 
the heart out of the team, second it is apparent why Kentucky probably 
wasn't sorry to see Cote` leave; (talk about cement hands),  finally I 
think that both Moore and Williams look like they could be terrific with 
more experience.  It is going to take a monumental turnaround to make 
the NIT.  Next yeear with VV gone, it is really going to be tough.  I 
just hope that Moore and Williams or Carmody for that matter don't get 
totally disgusted and leave.

Watching other basketballl games, it looks to me like other coaches have 
picked up on recruiting playrs in Europe, they seem to be smart and 
don't need to carry a bail bondsman's card with them.
