Very good win today. Why all the credit Davidson was getting by announcers etc. is beyond me. They are an A-10 team with A-10 talent. OK, they can shoot 3's . Are they even that much better than Duquesne, Dayton, Bonnies and others? Well, they certainly could bury St. John's this year LOL. They are well coached, execute pretty well, and obviously have shooters. However, live by the three, DIE by the three. You gotta have more than that and they didn't today obviously.
Pitt on the other hand has far better talent and it showed today. We weren't perfect, but we do have
offensive firepower and depth. Our D looked very good at times. Stopping their guards as opposed to say an ACC pg like Barber from NC St is a horse of a different color though. Which leads me to ask...where do other posters see us as opposed to the ACC elite? IMO. I see Duke, UNC, Virginia and probably Louisville, asteams better than us. However I see us with a far greater learning curve and room to improve than some of those teams. Duke, and UNC have elite talent obviously. Virginia executes on BOTH ends of the floor and makes very few mistakes. Louisville?...Only seen em once...they're good and have Pitino (like him or not he CAN coach). Some others...N.D. ,NC ST Miami, Fla. St.. It'll be real interesting how we do against them. IMO those are the teams that we can see where we really are. I know, I know we beat UNC, ND, and the Cuse last year, but we also lost to those others and Clemson and VT.
I like what I see, and I also like how Dixon has changed his stripes (despite many on here saying he can'tor won't). This team gets up the floor and has shooters. Now our D?? I'm definitely not convinced. You didn't see any zone today....not with those outside shooters LOL. This will be interesting as we get into league play.
