From the PG today.
When teams go zone, I think part of it is that they want to slow you down a little bit and make you think, and when you haven’t seen it, it can make your offense go, ‘OK, what are they in? What are we supposed to be in?’ ” Capel said. “It messed with us a little bit. And then we got into our head a little bit. And those are two things we can’t allow to happen.”
But throughout the long field goal droughts that kept this game closer than was comfortable for Pitt, both Capel and his counterpart from Gardner-Webb, Luther, thought the Panthers were generating the right shots.
“I don’t know if we slowed them down more so than they missed shots. I think they missed 21 3-pointers,” Luther said. “They make some of those, and that game gets really ugly.”
