I feel fortunate to have been at the Pete today. Luther is blooming before our eyes. I shake my head thinking of the quality of ball we saw today versus what we've seen most of this year. Leaves you very confused.
Great Game. Great Win

Yeah, I'm pretty stoked over the win but also baffled. Maybe some of it can be attributed to Duke being flat, but that high level of effort on both sides of the ball is perplexing only because Pitt hasn't shown that ability consistently.
I think Luther's emergence and replacing Smith with Jones has a lot to do with it.
Bingo, when you get in the game, play with confidence, Luther, and I think Cam is starting to also. Jeter just wanted to beat Duke.
Some teams GET it quicker than others. Jamie never gave up on this team and never lost them. Kudos to Jamie and James.
interesting how well we played with Young on the bench.
Always a possibility but a little unusual when a team only begins to improve 27 Games in
This program has had teams that have inexplicably gotten worse after 27 games, I would imagine the opposite is possible as well...
Couple of thoughts on the improved play.
1. Teams have highs and lows during a season. Often times there is a critical game that helps a team to snap out of a slump and get on a roll This team has clearly played much better, save for 8 mintues against the VIll since the OT win against Wake.
2. James Robinson has greatly elevated his game just before and during this stretch. He was playing well earlier in the year when the team was playing well. This team is a decent team when James is playing well. Yeah that's a captain obvious statement but when hes aggressive with his shot and going to the rim they are a much better team
Lets hope they can build on this and be one of the few PItt teams that Peaks in March Madness and goes on a run
