Why is Pitt always tougher than us?

[alibrat66]

What is it about the culture and coaching style of Pitt that makes them inherently tougher than us year after year after year?

They have 11 first half offensive rebounds - that is absolutely unacceptable and mind-boggling to me.

Thank God we're twice as talented.

Dirtier or tougher? A little of both, IMO

Its almost comical how obvious it is, yet never, ever called.

I don't think it's every time, but it's up there. I love the spin-screen where the screener does the circle and pretty much entraps the defender in the Pitt circle-of-death.

It's almost as fun as the infamous Deshaun Blair full-court moving screen from a couple years ago where he goes a few feet in front of the dribbler and just takes the defender out - all the while throwing his arms up in the air pretending like he has no idea what's happening.
