this Pitt team has a definite weakness on the boards. Can defensive intensity overcome this weakness? Pitt has played only five minutes of zone defense this year and being undersized; zone might be the better choice when facing a bigger team. While I like the defensive intensity of Capel's man to man; to this point Pitt has only toyed with double teaming and with corner or midcourt traps. I expect to see more variations of defense as the season progresses. Going against a legit scoring power forward is where a mismatch will be the most evident, like Varnado of Troy, who had 22 and 11 against us. Pitt will need more than a straight up (helping) man to man. I'm pretty sure there are one or two legit power forwards in our path this year to be matched up against our 6'5" forwards.
