Facing the right team?

Even though USF is playing West Virginia this weekend, it seems more like it is battling against Pittsburgh. With USF's 5-3 loss today and Pittsburgh eking out a 3-2 win in the 10th over Georgetown, the Bulls still need just one win to get into the Big East Tournament. Georgetown is out due to its two straight losses to the Panthers. So if Pittsburgh wins and USF loses, the Panthers head to Clearwater and coach Eddie Cardieri waits for word on his future from Doug Woolard's office.

It is interesting how the Hoyas actually can now be helpful to the Bulls if USF can't help itself to a win Saturday at noon. Just to show you the history, Georgetown was pummeled 14-0 by Pittsburgh on Thursday, as the Hoyas have just 23 wins (same as the Bulls) this season. On top of all that, Georgetown is now riding a six-game losing streak.
