When they are hitting the mid-range jump shots, don’t mind the missed 3s as much. Great game. Love seeing Biggs finally playing within himself and seeing Wannamaker really developing into a scoring threat.

Just enjoyable to watch such domination.

Just got back from DC…great Pitt turn-out, at least a third of the crowd turned out to be Pitt homers! The Verizon Center on the other hand is not a great venue, but overall a fun weekend…I would definitely recommend visiting DC for a weekend, especially if it includes a beat down of a Hoyas team!…

Yeah, maybe Gottlieb will steal Dickie V’s credit card and ESPN will be forced to boot him ust like ND did.

Maybe Gottlieb will get kicked out of ESPN just like he got kicked out of Notre Dame.

Dokish never, ever says anything about chemistry, coaching, motivation, self-sacrifice, defense. Would you disagree that these factors are important to the team’s success?

These are serious errors of omission.

He sounded right on with that. Biggs and Dixon are role players and Brown now being healthy has been a great addition. I think Pitt fans get defended when somebody calls their players role players but that’s what they are. It’s not an insult. It just means the player has a role. Young and Blair are the stars, and Fields is somewhat of one because he can take over a game sometimes, too. But nobody else can. Therefore they are role players. And they do a great job as role players. Biggs has all year and now Wanamaker and Brown are.

It’s been nice to see Wanamaker, Brown and Biggs mature over the last few games. Both those guys are giving the team a lot of solid minutes.

Now if Jermaine Dixon could only find his shot…

Chris Dokish provides great info on recruiting and I thank him for that. However, I think he over-dissects individual players and in the process misses out on cosmic-thingee.

Thus:

“Q: How do you think the team has performed early in the season?

A: Pretty much as expected, though I am impressed with how the big three of Sam Young, DeJuan Blair, and Levance Fields are playing right off the bat. And the staff thinks Sam Young hasn’t even found his shot yet. So he’s only going to get better.

I didn’t think the rest of the team would be anything more than role players this year, especially the young players, and so far that has been the case, but players like Biggs and Dixon could be solid and give about 8 ppg each this year. That’s enough if they do other things well and the big three stay at a top level. If Gilbert Brown comes back healthy then that would be a great addition, to say the least, and he could be starting at the two when the games get tougher.”

etc.

Great game, but can ESPN PLEASE get rid of Doug Gottleib. Seriously, he was just on Sportscenter talking about how bad Pitt shot from 3 point range, pointing to that as the reason they are inferior to UNC. THEY JUST BEAT THE #8 TEAM IN THE NATION ON THE ROAD! Oh yeah, I forgot, Gottleib thinks the Big East sucks, so I guess neither of these teams is going anywhere. What a moron. Say Doug, how did Oklahoma (the best team in your beloved Big 12) do against SEC bottom feeder Arkansas? Oh, sorry.
