When Pitt is in the open court

(With the way we move the ball) the opposition is in trouble.

Syracuse pressing in the second have was, ummm, ineffective.

The way Syracuse presses,
the opposition is hoping
they leave the press on.

Case in point, they initiate
a quick double and try
for a TO with that double.
Their weakness is (and this
is typical of many teams),
they don't do a good job
rotating to the ball after
the initial double team.
Wanna see it done right?..
just watch a Rick Pitino
coached team.

No kidding! Pitt did the same inbound set up 15 times in a row and got 14 2-on-1s. The only time they didn’t was when Hinson and Burton weren’t on the same page.

The speed of our bigs is impressive. Especially loved seeing Fede get back and finish. Kid is already one of my all time favorite Panthers.

Actually you and Phijo
are both right IMO. The
press was "ineffective"
and yes we exposed it
and got those "2 on 1's"
you mentioned.

Fede and the twins both
get downcourt in a hurry.
Fede is exceptional at it.

These guys are like the Harlem Globetrotters when they are feeling it.

Quickest improvement I've ever seen. We have a nice group coming back if Dior is playing.
