And intimidation ... Both the old GT teams (with JT) and Pitt teams walked on the floor with the attitude: we're going to beat you to a pulp. In the BE, they had willing accomplices in the officials. Not as much in the ACC, although this past season's loss to Pitt was a low-point in college basketball officiating. Your statement about Pitt having one or two players who carried them (at least against us) also remains true. Three years ago, it was Woodhall and Patterson (Adams inside). Two years ago it was Patterson and Wright (Zana inside). And this past season it was Jones and Young/Artis. Both their forwards last year were built like pro tight ends -- 6-7 235-245. We did well on the glass (with Rak) but Young and Artis did damage inside and that opened it up for Jones to drop 5 x 3 pointers . What we needed against them was a little more beef in our front line and some bigger/better defending guards to get in Jones face (that and competent refs).
