GAME THREAD - Pitt vs Georgia Tech .........

Dixon should be playing some zone and double teaming on D - just dumb defensive strategy
 
Well our defensive strategy Is leaving him out to dry

Yeah, we are not double teaming down low at all so far ..... Ododa and Young both with 3 fouls ...... I guess Jamie doesn't want GT to shoot open 3's which is what often happens when we double down low.
 
Well we're going to get eaten up inside if we keep,playing man with no double teaming- ridiculous

When a team is lighting it up from 3 and killing you on the boards, the zone is the worst possible defense to play.

Well they may as well at least try or go zone- this man to man isn't worth a crap
 
FT is 6-for-11 from 3 and has 10 offensive rebounds.... if we go zone, we make things worse.

they might actually guard the perimeter better playing zone- they're not guarding anyone in this man to man
 
Yes... Pitt got 5 stops out of 6 possessions during that time.
Pitt has expanded its lead on a 14-6 run since Del said they should go zone.

Zone is what you do when a team is killing you inside... .not when they have a guy like Smith who is super hot from 3.

And when the other team is killing you on the glass, zone helps them kill you even more.
 
Maybe one of the assistants is monitoring this game thread and doing the opposite of whatever Del says. Kind of like the George Costanza thing.
 
Artis crashes the boards and scores ..... Pitt up by 15 with 6:30 to play 2nd half !
 
Maia misses a bunny and GT hits a couple 3's .... Pitt lead down to 9 with 3:02 to play.
 
Smith is incredible. Thank goodness we have the offense to outscore teams when they have a shooter going off like that.
 
Pitt lead down to 6 with 1:18 to play ..... Smith with 25 for GT .... 7-11 from 3FG.
 
Good win. We have a heckuva offensive team. So many shooters.
 
GT scores at the buzzer ..... Pitt wins 89-84 !!!!! ...... NICE WIN for Pitt !
 
I normally scream about giving up threes...
But the defense was fine, just dropping buckets.


Good win.
90% of the time, when a shooter goes off like Smith did tonight, that team wins.

Says a lot about Pitt that they weathered the storm and never trailed after 2-0.
 
Doubly shocking with Mitchell going for 20 and 17.
Mitchell now has 11 double-doubles. That's not unusual for him. He's a beast.

Adams did get 20 against UNC last game.... so this isn't unheard of.... but he was something else.
