-	When it was 30-10, I was thinking about how far this team had come. After struggling through the early season and then getting our act together, now we were going to tear teams apart with our unstoppable offense where everyone can score, our spacing is lethal and we can pass the ball like it was a ballet. I guess it was too easy. The rest of the game was SU 39 Pitt 50. We maintained a good lead during much of that but it seemed like a close game in which we were up by 10. As JB said after the game it was “never comfortable”, especially when Pitt finally broke through to cut it down to 3 points with 33 seconds left. Fortunately, we made the plays to win the game. Losing a game where we had a 20 point lead is not what this team needs right now.

-	Elijah Hughes looked like an imposter who had stolen his uniform during the first half. Nothing he tried worked: missed shots, not getting rebounds, turning the ball over. It was amazing that we built a 20 point lead with a goose egg from the conference’s leading scorer. He finally broke the ice and wound up in double figures when he caught that pass for the dunk that clinched it.

-	It’s great to have three guys who can rip the cords from 25 feet and it’s spectacular when it happens but that doesn’t mean they should jack it up as soon as they get down court without investigating the possibility of getting a higher percentage shot for themselves or someone else.

-	We only missed 7 of 23 free throws. It seemed like a lot more, especially when Hughes, Boeheim and even Girard missed 5 of them.

-	13 turnovers is too many for a team with this many skilled players in a game that wasn’t all that fast-paced or well defended.
