I guess you saw it live in real time.
Not having seen it, I can only go on the boxscore I found. I assume
we pressed them and they couldn't handle it...36 TOs. Also we had
20 steals. Those are unheard of numbers.
Some questions.... Marley with 11 minutes? Does it look like she's
improved her shot? Malcolm with only 16 minutes and a non starter?
The two guards from Kentucky had good stats. Your opinion on them?
Are our Bigs an improvement or did they have no competition?
Any other comments besides UPJ is the "worst college Bball team"
you've ever laid eyes on? LOL
I don't think that you can draw any conclusions about what I saw tonight. I am serious when I say this, if someone had told the Pitt players before the game that if they won by 100 points that when they walked off the court tonight they would have each been handed a bag with $100,000 in it, not only would Pitt have won by 100, but it probably wouldn't have even been tough to get there.
Pitt did come out and pressed hard at the beginning of the game, and UPJ couldn't handle it at all. It was even worse than what West Virginia did to Pitt last year, if you happened to see that. If Pitt hadn't backed off the pressure somewhat mid-way through the quarter UPJ would have had trouble scoring at all. In fact they did back off, and UPJ still had trouble scoring.
The starters were Miles, Washenitz, Jenkins, Rust and Faye. When Washenitz came out mid-way through the quarter she didn't come back in until the last minute of the half. Then she started the second half, and again when she came out she didn't go back in until later in the 4th. I don't know if that means anything other than maybe they were trying to get the new players more time.
Here's how bad UPJ was. Their leading scorer had 11 points. She made three threes and two foul shots. Two of the threes she made were bank shots from places that you would never try to shoot a bank shot from (almost straight away and a few feet up from the corner). One of her missed threes was also was a bank shot that almost went in. So their leading scorer scored six of her 11 points on shots that probably missed where she was aiming for by about two feet. The funny thing is that after the second one went in she kind of turned back to the bench and shrugged her shoulders, like hey, at least it went in.
