Safe travels those who are there - roads are real bad in the east end
I’m impressed with Amsel’s passing

Sam Houston game thread
- Thread starter PittPharm2002
- Start date
Pitt 58% SH 53.6 %
Pitt 8-17 shooting 3s but SH is 6-13
Pitt largest lead was 17 but SH won’t go away
Huefner with a huge first half (14 points) - he averages 12.8
Kenpom has Pitt winning by 17 so we will see if the defense can pick up this half

Can't say enough about Austin. He's the one guy on this team who has taken a clear step forward.
You can really see the skills with Amsal. Love his court vision and passing ability. Should have taken that open shot at the free-throw line, though.
Defense is pretty bad to allow SHSt. that many points. That's going to need fixed before league games. Thank God we can score points, though. Against the lesser teams, the bad defense doesn't matter too much.
Solid preseason especially considering the Dunn injury
They have one of the best 3 pt shooters in all of ncaa. Pitt could have slowed the pace to limit possessions. They were much better defensively in the second half.
Yes, he can be the key to whole season because it seems he mightve taken a nice step forward.
If they weren't up 30 he would have. He was just getting everyone involved. Leader type stuff
Ish/Lowe better than last year; Austin is who we hoped to see last year. Get GDG going again. More the game we want to see. 1/3 from 3 with some put backs and rebounds. Cummings and AD continue to come along. Kante Kante keep fouling if he wants to play. Get Dunn healthy.
I am now officially on record as saying that the long layoff did not matter one bit! Probably helped us as the whole team looked good and fresh and fit. Austin, Leggett, and Lowe were dudes; Corhen and even GDG looked very efficient; Delalic had some great, unselfish minutes; Beebah got some good minutes and looked sharp. Not a lot to criticize
Great win today. Sam Houston is not a program with which I am familiar as I don't follow them or their conference. I saw that their football team beat GA Southern (a good program) in their bowl game last night. And all game the announcers were commenting about how SH BB is the reigning champion of CUSA. And despite giving up 78 points our defense was pretty good considering SH's history of making 3's and producing offense. Any time you win by 32 points it's hard to say that your defense sucked
Enjoy the Holidays, Panther Hoopsters. See you in the New Year

Yeah -
They average 40% from 3,
We held them to 30%
Not great but not bad
Us going 16/31 was nice to see , especially GDG finally making a couple
Ish and Lowe have met expectations. Austin has exceeded them. When Dunn comes back, it will be interesting to see what JC does. Austin has been better than GDG and has earned more minutes. Good problem to have, of course.
No, statistically Lowe and Ish have massively improved. Both in PPRG and ORTG. Austin as well.
This year
4.2 for Ish
4.0 for Lowe
3.5 for Austin
3.1 for Corhen
2.4 for Cummings
Last year
Hinson 4.4
Bub 3.4
Ish 3.1
Lowe 2.1
Austin 2.0
Fede 1.5
GDG has dropped from 1.9 to 0.9

Is that a problem for you? Our defense has been sporadic so far this year. And you don't win much if you can't play good defense and rebound. Fortunately, we were playing Sam Houston State, and not Duke.
I'm sorry if I'm a big proponent of good defense.
Well, they did limit them to 38 points in the second half, 2 fewer than in the first half. But I think there were moments in the second half when the defensive intensity picked up.
I'm a believer that you score a lot of points from great defense and transition.
That was a fun game to attend. The offense was outstanding.
I won't argue that we played well defensively today, but we did hold Sam Houston to fewer points per possession than they had been averaging this season.
Their season average scoring wise is 78 points. That's exactly what they scored today. Pitt's season scoring average is C about 80. We exceeded that by 30 points. That's what happens in a significant win. Nuff said
When you are scoring as efficiently as we were today you want there to be lots of possessions.
