Message: [QUOTE="PeteCalvin, post: 1445187, member: 439"] Good post. To me, there is a distinct parallel between the 1988 John Thompson Olympic Team and the Pitt teams of the last few years. The teams were built around defense, rebounding, penetration, and inside scoring. Shooting was highly suspect and lacking. Scoring in general was a problem in 1988, and has been for Pitt. The '88 Olympic team had one pure shooter on it, Hersey Hawkins, and one streaky shooter in Dan Majerle. Two if you count Charles Smith. Hawkins was injured early in the games and never played. Pitt has had zero outside scoring, and you need to have shooters in the ACC. [/QUOTE]
