Great road win. I can't believe I'm watching the same team that lost to St. John's by 33. Seems like team morale and chemistry, in general, has improved. I love the brilliant improv by Lydon at the end (it was drawn up for him to get that shot), and an amazing clutch shot by the frosh, Kid Mamba.

 

Let's hope JB and staff can whip this defense into shape. They are getting better, but D is still our glaring weakness.

Got to give Pitt credit on D. They were switching on every off ball screen which is really unusual. As a result, no shooter was getting open in the second half. The way to counteract that is to cut backdoor, but we didn't do that until one time when there was like 5 minutes left (the Lydon alley oop dunk).

 

Plus, they were and always are beasts on the glass.

 

But cuse played okay and they had a shot, until Lydon turned it over down by 4 late. I thought he was going to catch it and dunk it and make it a 2 point game. We were really close. I think the team was too tired in the end.
