Ladies win!

Happy for Coach White, the staff and the team. Looks like one of those nights when everybody was shooting hot.

Pitt was 11 for 19 from 3. Overall, Pitt shot 36 for 61, or 59%.

Garven went 13 for 18. Walsh went 8 for 10. Bradley 6 for 9. This is crazy, but good for them.

Go Pitt.
 
I was there, that was the best the women's team has played in many years. Certainly at least to when Brianna Keisel played. Maybe even all the way back to the Sweet 16 seasons.

And while North Carolina is not great, they were 6-5 in the conference and beat Notre Dame a week or two ago. One key is that Pitt held perhaps North Carolina's best player, Paris Kea, to 4 points. She had 30 points and 10 assists when they beat Notre Dame. Tonight she didn't even score until a few minutes into the 4th quarter.

It should be said that a lot of those were wide open shots. North Carolina did not play good defense. Which, I guess given the score, no shyte Sherlock.

Walsh was 5-6 on threes in the first half. In the second half they seemed to make it a point to deny her outside shooting opportunities. Which they mostly did, because she only took two in the second half (and made one). But cheating out on her frequently left Garvin wide open for 8-10 footers on the baseline or right inside the foul line. And she kept making them.

Yeah, Walsh apparently got smacked in the face with about a minute and a half left in the game. I say "apparently " because it happened way behind the play and I did not see it. The refs did look at the monitor for a potential flagrant foul, but after a very quick look they did not call one.

Pure speculation on my part, but seeing the way she was bleeding it wouldn't surprise me if her nose was broken.
 
What’s shocking about this win by the women’s team is that this team scored 91 points. That’s like almost two games worth of points for this team...

In the 11 ACC games before this one, Pitt had never scored over 60 points. In three of those games they scored 44 points or less.

Go Pitt.
