Well our defensive strategy Is leaving him out to dry3 fouls on Young ...... he was really forcing it offensively.

When a team is lighting it up from 3 and killing you on the boards, the zone is the worst possible defense to play.Dixon should be playing some zone and double teaming on D - just dumb defensive strategy
Well they may as well at least try or go zone- this man to man isn't worth a crapYeah, 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.

they might actually guard the perimeter better playing zone- they're not guarding anyone in this man to man
youFT is 6-for-11 from 3 and has 10 offensive rebounds.... if we go zone, we make things worse.
Well.... I see Pitt is on a 9-2 run since you said they should go zone. And that's with Artis and Young out.You
you
don't know that will happen
Is the lead due to better D?Well.... I see Pitt is on a 9-2 run since you said they should go zone. And that's with Artis and Young out.
Clearly you are smarter than Jamie.

Yes... Pitt got 5 stops out of 6 possessions during that time.Is the lead due to better D?
Pitt has expanded its lead on a 14-6 run since Del said they should go zone.Yes... Pitt got 5 stops out of 6 possessions during that time.
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.
You don't know what you what you are watching .Is the lead due to better D?
And this year?37% last year.
12-for-35 for his career at Pitt. That's not a bad 3p shooter.
And this year?
2-for-9.... too small of a sample set to come to any conclusions.And this year?
90% of the time, when a shooter goes off like Smith did tonight, that team wins.I normally scream about giving up threes...
But the defense was fine, just dropping buckets.
Good win.

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