The Golden Lions lost First Team All-SWAC guard McKnight to graduation. He scored over 1300 points in only two years so the offense is suffering greatly in his absence. Pitt should win this game, but Pine Bluff played Kansas State tough on Tuesday night (they were tied at halftime) so who knows? Pitt’s favored by over 20, but if the shooting woes continue it’ll be closer than that.
