Two things from yesterday.

-   Gillon drove and for the first time (at least first time to my recollection) finished on a couple of those tough drives.    It felt like the next step in a progression to me.

Many games ago he started driving throwing up wild shots and getting nothing but a turnover.   More recently he started kicking out to open teammates.   He then started picking up fouls on his drives and getting to the line.    Now he has added actually finishing on some of those drives.   I don't think he'll be remembered as one of our all time great point guards, but he is improving in leaps and bounds as the season goes on.

-   I thought the press was really good yesterday!!    It may not be a Louisville, 80s Georgetown or 90s Arkansas type of press, but it caused a surprising number of turnovers and led to hurried/missed shots.   If you just look at it just from the perspective that it sped up the game it was a success, but it also led to a fair number of empty possessions by Pitt.    Unfortunately we didn't capitalize on enough of them to close the gap entirely.
