The Upside - Pitt II

[SWC75]

- Buddy Boeheim tried mightily to carry the team, scoring 25 of our 53 points. He just got no help at all.

- After being dominated on the boards in the first half, 19-28, we won that battle in the second half 20-17.

- We were also +3 in turnovers 10-13, so we were only down 2 possessions. It was all in the shooting.

- John Hugley, (Hugely?), in two games being defended by Jesse Edwards, is 4 for 17 from the field. Unfortunately, he’s also 11 for 15 from the foul line.

9-11 with 11+ to go.

LET’S GO ORANGE!

With all due respect, there was no upside to that game...

There's always an Upside and always a Downside, even if I have to use a magnifying glass to find it.

Buddy has to learn how to pass out of the double team. He’s 6’6” yet he can’t pass as well as Joe does when he gets trapped. For a big kid, he sure plays small at times.

I just can't believe a HOF coach put this team together. And actually talked it up as a good team pre-season. It's a team of slow footed players which is why the defense is so horrendous. It's a team of all catch and shoot guys. Ball handling is totally absent as is having anyone who can manufacture a shot or create a shot for others. Only Symir can create shots for his teammates but he can't shoot a lick from the field or FT line so that limits his PT. There isn't one player off the bench who contributes anything. I don't know how you go into a season intentionally having only 3 guards leaving yourself open to disaster if there's an injury. Will the HC change anything for next season or is it rely on a team of almost all freshman (who are not highly rated by the services) plus Edwards? Doesn't seem a reason for optimism.
