***Pitt-Duke Game Thread***

I mean I don’t know we haven’t been playing poorly at all… a LOT of shots haven’t gone down. And missed free throws.

We were down much worse to Ohio State
 
Pitt seems hesitant to shoot 3s
Duke is VERY big as a team. And also big out at the top of their D. Pitt is probably going to have to hunt 3 pt shots by reversing the ball or with drives and kick outs

That length is also bothering Pitt on their 2 point attempts. Pitt is just going to have to do a much better job of finishing/making shots. Somehow. Some way .

Duke has been running a shooter to the side opposite the ball. Then throwing a long weak side pass over the top of the D to get open looks from 3. And making a lot of them.

We need to not stand still on offense

That last three attempt by Lowe was because there was nothing there… and everyone stood still

No, after he poster-ized our guy and took his heart, then he stuck his chest in his face on the baseline and taunted him a bit
I think most of us can recognize why that shouldn’t have been a T. Let the man have his moment especially when he didn’t make eye contact.
 
This might be the only game all year where we are missing Federiko. Pitt has no line of defense in the paint. That said Corhen is fighting his ass off.
 
Everybody just stands still outside the 3 pt line. You can get away with a low ball movement offense against alot of teams. Not duke

Talking about Pitt on offense here
It comes down to defense. Any team with athletes that are big and strong and willing to defend hard will shut our offense down. That is why we will not compete with the better athletic teams. Duke has the makeup of an SEC team. They can play with anyone.
 
We've had a couple of open threes here in the last few minutes that if we would have buried would have started to make this interesting.

Alas, no.
 
Duke is not winning this game. Pitt is losing it. I’m looking forward to the rematch in the ACC tournament where hopefully Pitt shoots like they are capable of doing.
