Pitt looks to make it 3 in a row against the Tarheels. It would be pretty impressive to have win streaks against UNC and Duke from a historical perspective.

This game tonight worries me as it is a bad matchup for Pitt. Kessler (7'1) and Bacot (6'10") are legit next level Bigs and Brooks(6'10") is a really good ACC level Big and we have AKC and Brown as our only true bigs who are both prone to foul trouble. I can see us coming out playing a lot of Zone to start to negate that post presence but opens us up to giving up a lot of offensive rebounds.
Hoping we can show up and be competitive but don't have a good feeling on this one. Would love to see us press and drop into our zone to shorten the clock on them in the half court and force RJ and Caleb Love to beat us from the outside. As a team they are only shooting 31% from 3.

UNC could beat us but lets not pretend they are good. They're an 11/12 seed type team
I think they may have to play him, but if they do don't be surprised if he gets demolished.
They also have 6’11’’ FR Day’Ron Sharpe from Monteverde Academy. He’s been playing a lot more than Kessler. The Carolina front court is huge.
This will be a VERY tough game for Pitt. UNC‘s young guys are coming around.
hes hot so far. Now Johnson has to make sure he limits his touches!!!!!
Everything in the paint. Can UNC 2 us to death?
We just lost to a team that made 15 3s. Now we get UNC who will live in the paint. Then its ND and 3s again.

They better or it will a long night.It might be anyway if they can’t hit some shots.
Nice kid I am sure. But he's only playing out of necessity. We need a big badly to help this team compete.
Toney needs to step it up. He is supposed to be a leader and has done nothing so far.
You got to look at the personnel on the floor when they are getting their second chance points.
Yup. He has zero hoops instincts. Totally lost. You can almost see him thinking out there
Brown is SAWFT! Nobody driving hard to the hoop. UNC getting away with hand checking/ holding but instead of being aggressive we are allowing them to get away with it!
No boxing out. X to out of control, he’s a Junior! Nobody boxing out! Worse game of the year after Saint Francis!

Pitt is not attacking the glass on either end. Appear to be intimidated
Who hasn't been on the floor when they've gotten their second chance points? They have been getting second chance points since the game started.
fitting end of the half. Gave up another offensive rebound just zero energy. Hopefully Capel rips into them and lights a fire under them
Toney and Brown are playing soft inside. We desperately need some size and toughness.
