GAME THREAD - Pitt vs Miami

It doesn't look anything at all like the early Dixon teams.
The early Dixon teams played exclusively man-to-man defense and never, ever, ever, ever played zone.
Tonight, Pitt has played almost exclusively zone since the first TV timeout.
The results might be similar, but that is where the similarities end.
If Miami starts making shots this will look awful too. Guards penetrating too easily.
Agree. Making shots is the downfall to any zone. They just look much more aggressive in this zone as opposed to the 2-3. I find that somewhat encouraging.
No credit for the steal, of course.
He's 1-for-2 today and no turnovers. He and Wilson are working good together. Why can't you just acknowledge success?
It's ok.... you can criticize him when he plays bad. But is it impossible for you to recognize when he is NOT playing bad?
Of course, McLellan hits a Scottie Reynolds runner at the buzzer.
Of course.
Good half, though.
Of course.
Good half, though.
and have...Up 5 on the road. Pitt came to play. Can't complain (though some undoubtedly will
Sorry man.............JROB has been awful........not much better tonight Not sure how you can sugar coat it
PLayed OK against UVA in the first half. Their problem has been puttig two halves together WHich team comes out in the second half...................?
What would you like me to say about him? Played good defense, no threat offensively. Wish he would have converted that layup. Happy we are up 5. Luther playing great, Wilson has given us good minutes.
Seems to be directing traffic for the rest of the guys also. It looks like almost everyone is more comfortable in this zone. Not getting out of position as much and leaving shooters wide open the way they normally do in the 2-3. Most shots have been well contested.
I still don't understand why that last shot wasn't a three. McClellan's last step was clearly way behind the three point line. It doesn't matter that his body was over the line in the air when he shot it, it matters that when he left the ground both feet were behind the line.
Yep, just watched it again. Definitely a three. Have to think they'll correct that before the 2nd half starts. Miami will ask them to review it again. He flew so far in the air, they must not have even considered looking at where he took off from.
