Most of those points he scored were against Austin in the 2nd half as Leggett was in foul trouble and not even guarding him. Granted, he scored on 4 different Pitt players yesterday including Guillermo. You can rewatch the full highlight tape or game on youtube.
The thing that crippled Pitt more than anything, we gave up 9 offensive rebounds yesterday and we gave up 11 2nd chance points yesterday. We scored a total of 4 second chance points. You give an Elite offensive team like Wisconsin chance after chance at some point they will burn you. And as Ive said multiple times, Dunn stinks on the glass. He is Fede level bad on the boards and one of the reasons his PT went down at Houston.
The team defensive effort was poor overall in the 2nd half either because of tired legs or just poor intensity, Wisconsin wanted it more. Guys were not getting back in transition defense and Lowe had trouble with dribble penetration all game long and we were getting killed with dumps, kickouts, etc.. You can also blame Guillermo because he continues to be too slow closing out on 3 point shooters as he is more concerned with protecting the interior. He and our team have been burnt by this almost every game.
Next game out, lets make it a huge point of emphasis to not let the opposing team have twice as many offensive rebounds as us. And maybe if we also rebounded better, we would have scored more than a paltry 6 points in transition, which also stinks.
By the way, here is our 2nd half numbers against Wisconsin.
Wisconsin outrebounded Pitt by 8 in the 2nd half, and they are not even a good rebounding team. This is the biggest downfall of why we lost.
Wisconsin won the turnover margin by 1 in the 2nd half.
Wisconsin shot the ball at 60% from the field in the 2nd half and 50% from 3 in the 2nd half.
Wisconsin outscored Pitt 11-2 in the 2nd half with 2nd chance points
Wisconsin outscored Pitt by 3 points in fastbreak points in the 2nd half
Pitt was 2-13 shooting the 3 ball in the 2nd half
And the icing on the cake, Jaland Lowe finished the whole game -9, team worst. Jorge played a total of 5 minutes and was -6, 2nd worst on the team. At what point do we try someone else besides Jorge who has been in the negative literally every game except VMI.
And the final interesting stat. Guillermo finished this game at a +5. And Guillermo was the only Pitt player in the positive in this game.
As for the bench, Delalic was a -3.
