Pitt last night reminded me a lot of Baylor. They never drove the ball to attack the rim. It was always drive, stop, turn around to try for a 3 rinse repeat. We match up great with that. The concern would be if they attack the rim and force fouls to be called and get to the FT line. That's where we really get in trouble against teams (like KU). My guess is the refs will let them play like we want to but have tight whistles around the rim.

The only concern to me is if they get hot from 3 and if that happens there's only so much we could do anyway.

I think it's wonky to do and really doesn't help. There's been a few times lately where we stay in it longer and it's actually been effective. Ward is really the perfect player to throw at the zone. If Watson, Ward and King are in the game at the same time I think we should probably run the zone the entire time. Watson and Ward are built to be perfect zone defenders.

You’re pretty much wrong with this whole line. TJ uses the zone to confuse opponents and it’s worked pretty much every time he’s done it.

They started a post to combat a Cyclone Larry post, so there's that.
One fun one -
"A 19-13 team with a 0.500 conference record should not be a favorite over Pitt. I don't give a s$%t about what conference they're in. That's all hype from uninformed people and the media. And I don't use that NET and computer garbage that others swear by. I use my own eyes and see what their record is, which is the ultimate determining factor. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and, if we don't have Fede, they might be a 1 point favorite. It will be a similar game as the Pitt-MSU game...back and forth, lead changes, staying within 5 points for most of the game. If we are to win, we'll have to rebound better, play better defense as we did later in the MSU game, and make out FT's at a 77% clip like we did all season."

So says a Pitt fan that most likely has never watched a single Iowa State game this year.

To be fair, has anyone watched a Pitt game before last night?

Eye test for one game wasn't exactly flattering for them, after minimal viewing it's hard not to agree with the numbers that say this will be the worst team ISU has matched up with in three months. With that being said, I fully expect them to throw up garbage off the backboard from 30 feet out while causing me all sorts of headaches in the process.

Their center didn't play and didn't one of their other better players only play limited minutes?

I’ve watched two of their other games. I wasn’t impressed. One of them was Michigan.

Extra facts:

Their best player quit our team because he thought playing defense was a stupid waste of his time and become a chucker there instead.

Their name rhymes with ****, and WVU fans yell Eat **** Pitt, which we should also do

Their coach sucks

I had a fan on reddit explain this season from them as "We suck and everyone finds ways to let us win anyhow"

They stink and shouldn't have even been in the field
