Corhen, Guillermo and Amadou Kante, 56 combined minutes, 2 total offensive rebounds, 1 total defensive rebound.

Just brutal.

I just looked at the stat sheet. 52 points in the paint for MSU and 11 for us

Has the ACC won a road game during this challenge?

I don't think so. I believe Duke & Clemson are the only ACC teams that got a win.

You are correct. 14-2 in favor of the SEC. We are 1-1 vs SEC so far. Just imagine if the Duke and Clemson games were away. This could've been a sweep by the SEC

If anyone was wondering how the current Pitt team would stack up with the mid-to-late 2000 Pitt teams, there you go; not that it is an entirely fare comparison. But at least for this game, it looked like the team has adopted the old stereotype of ACC softness. It's only one game though, and Pitt is missing who is most likely its most physical starter.

I wish that the mid-to-late 2000 Pitt teams could shoot like MSU did tonight. They had it rolling both inside and out.

When most of your shots are uncontested and from 4 feet and in, that helps the percentage a lot.
