Big East Coast BiACC - Thursday Night Special

November 11, 2010  |  By Benjamin Miraski

It is a big Thursday night, and instead of forcing Brian to pick the whole slate of games early again — the Big East is just grabbing for television time with these early week starts — we thought we would give him a small break today.

Tonight the conference’s lone undefeated squad in the league, the Pittsburgh Panthers, takes on the UConn Huskies.

With a win Pitt becomes the first team to qualify for a bowl game from the Big East. Yes, it took 11 weeks for someone to get there. Sad that they might end up being the BCS representative from this ragtag bunch of teams.

The MRI is projecting that they will win with only a 58.22 percent certainty, which makes that 5.5 point line that they have to cover look a little shaky.

After all, Connecticut took out West Virginia last week.

But the MRI has done well picking winners in these games, so MRISports is going with Pitt tonight to cover 5.5 and be the first team from the Big East bowling in 2010.
