It’s been a while since I’ve been to a basketball game. Even longer since I made it to a season finale. I’m excited. Big thanks to Jeff in CPa. for the invite. The liveblog today will be in the always capable hands of Luke. I’ll be tweeting in from the game. Win and the Big East title is Pitt’s without any sharing (though, I admit that I still want ND to lose to UConn in the earlier game — just to play it safe).
Pitt players have been saying they wish to avoid the slow start in games. Still working on that. Same with free throws. Some of that may have to do with seeing zones thrown at them recently. It has caught them off-guard even though they said they expect it.
The one thing I noticed during the first half of the USF game was not simply Pitt missing shots. It was the poor rebounding. The Bulls are actually good at rebounding. It’s one of their few strengths, but Pitt was just poor — especially on the offensive glass. Pitt only had 5 offensive rebounds despite the volume of missed shots.
