and it wasn't just the points; it was the calm, the decisiveness, and the leadership.

Love  your takes, General, but I think you seriously undersold Ennis in this write up.  Year after year after year, this is the kind of game that Pitt almost always wrestles away from Syracuse.  As they chipped away at the nine point lead, then built themselves a 3 point lead of their own with under 4 to play, as SU could not squeeze a defensive board and every loose ball fell out of their hands out of bounds, a feeling of dread began to grow in my heart.  "Here we go again," I thought.  "Dixon just knows how to beat us, and his players are always going to out-heart and out-hustle SU down the stretch."  I'll bet you thousands of other Orange fans were having similar feelings.

But this time was different.  And the difference was Tyler Ennis.  It's one thing to play well when there is a lot of time on the clock and the score is in your favor.  But to play like that when it looks like the house is burning down is special.
