didn't shoot too poorly, but OR'd and FTR'd the f*ck out of them.  Very JYC-ish win.

Pitt is a ridiculously slow paced team.

810 had some Big East writer on  earlier this week.  The guy said that he has watched Pitt many times this year and that he feels they have over-achieved just to reach where they are now.  He didn't come out and say it, but it sounded like he didn't expect much from them this tourney.

first time i've seen pitt play.  they, like, have a notable lack of talented scorers for a upper-level big 6 team.  i guess gibbs is a shooter.  but basically they look like a really muscular mid-major.

So, it's like playing Dayton?

Weird team.  2 taller than 6-7 that play.  Physical, but don't force TOs.  Not great shooting.  Play slower than Nebraska.

more like xavier.  they look like the same exact team to me.

K-State will beat either team.

I could see Pitt making a game of it, but doubt it.

Xavier has better bigs.  Its like their leagues/seeds should be flipped.

I haven't been watching them.  For some reason, I'm actually watching the A&M game.  I'll turn on MMOD.

I'm hoping they pull this out somehow because KSU would destroy them.

Xavier...I don't like the thought of playing them again.  KSU is better, but I don't want them actually knowing that and having a result to prove it.

i don't think pitt is as bad as they looked for most of the last 10 minutes.  i expect their defense will tighten up in the 2nd.

Look at what we did to Baylor and f*cking relax.

True.   There are precedents both ways.

No, not really a precedent either way.  ISU does not count.

Pitt did start playing D.  And Dixon can ugly up a game in ways that would make Doc proud

A little Dixon nugget:

6th seeded Xavier owns us in the tourn-a-ment.  :ohno:

True, but I'm actually battling overconfidence here.

Jake and Denis combined to go 4-16 overall, and 2-10 from 3.  We missed 17 free throws.  And won by 15.  Granted, it was in the OOD and Xavier didn't shoot well, but still.

that was when the OOD was really the OOD.  we held them to their lowest eFG% the entire year and it was, defensively, a top 3 eFG% for us.  if we play well, we should win, but a lot of things have to go right.  I'd expect them to play more physical than last time.  Our bigs have to play like men (I'm looking at you, Jamar).

It was a nice crowd, but 6-7K with a foot of snow.
