Layups? That doesn't instill a lot of confidence here. We've saved more bunnies this year than an Easter ranch.Pitt gives up a lot of layups. Look for Tamin and Jaren to attack the rim early and often.

Some nuggets:
- BartTorvik had them winning by 2. They won by 1
- BartTorvik has them as #85
- NET is 67
- 4 Q1 wins
- 1 Q1 loss
- 1 Q4 loss
- KenPom is 77
- AdjO is 24
- AdjD is 142
- Notable loses:
- WVU by 25
- Michigan by 31
- Notable wins:
- Northwestern by 29
- North Carolina by 1
- Miami by 3
- They have SIX WINS in the VERY average ACC by 3 points or less.
- Using BartTorvik...a loss to Pitt would be our worst loss by a LOT. Texas Tech is our worst loss and they are #54. Pitt is #85.
Not just someone. It's from the "athletic director".View attachment 110939 Well……it’s someone’s take. I lol’d
I’m honoredPitt Rivals board game "Early Thoughts on Iowa State" thread quoted this (post #11)
Early thoughts on Iowa State Friday…

Oh well, I'm sure Jamie would say he likes Iowa State's chances. That's their job.View attachment 110939 Well……it’s someone’s take. I lol’d
This just isn't true. Does anyone actually think the officials are going to risk getting to move on and do bigger games in the tournament by letting stuff go that should be called a foul? No way they give one crap about 'keeping the games on schedule" in their building.In the first round especially they let the games be more physical. The refs know these games are on a schedule and can't be 2.5/3 hour games when they have 4 games at a venue to get through.

That game was soooo much fun.Remember how cocky Notre Dame was back in 2013? We rolled them like a dung beetle does a piece of sh!7.
Let’s not be Notre Dame.

One of my favorite memories was the shell-shocked ND coach in postgame repeatedly saying "Those were men out there; they were men!"Remember how cocky Notre Dame was back in 2013? We rolled them like a dung beetle does a piece of sh!7.

There are fouls that affect play, and then there is inconsequential contact. The latter is what good officials don't call.This just isn't true.

Oklahoma wasn’t our worst loss?
7. Score more than themKeys to victory:
1. Run them off the 3 point line
2. Get back in transition
3. Bigs have to handle the high pick and roll/pick and pop game
4. Punish them for being undersized by getting to the rim
5. Own the boards
6. Turn them over
Shoon looks like a bodybuilder compared to the kid Pitt rolled out last nightTheir bigs didn't look that great. Really only one true big, #25, and he looked gassed and lost out there often. Their other bigs are stretch 4 types who don't live in the lane.
Federiko being injured probably hurts them a lot.
Shoon, Rob, and Tre could have big days inside, I think. Plus Lipsey and Holmes driving.
