This is one of the most physical games I have ever seen be played. The match-up coming into the game was Hasheem Thabeet vs DeJuan Blair and Blair won this match-up pretty dominantly. Blair wasn't afraid of Thabeet's size as he finished with 22 points and 23 rebounds and most importantly got Thabeet in foul trouble and made him a non factor. Thabeet finished with 5 points and 4 rebounds.
Levance Fields who was shut down for a majority of the game, hit one of the biggest plays of the game. He hit a 3 pointer and scored all 10 of his points in the final 3:09. His first 3 gave the Panthers (24-2, 11-2) the lead for good at 64-61 with 3:09 left. His second 3 with 2:21 left made it 67-61, and he added four free throws in the final minute.
Either way it was a hell of a game and it looks like Pittsburgh is my early favorite to win it all.
