Both games decided by shots in the final seconds.
Nice win Pitt! Absolute heartbreaker for Miss St.

I bet it did lol. That might be the most wide open game winning shot attempt I've ever seen. I didn't realize just how poor of a 3 point shooting team Miss St was this season though. One of the worst at 28%. If that's the case, I can't imagine that that was the shot they really wanted out of that set since they were only down by 1.
Seemed like a horribly blown defensive play by Pitt but maybe not. Pack the paint and make one of the worst shooting teams try to win it with a three, and it worked.
The tip-in was astounding. How did Jeffries miss that badly? I think he could have used both hands in that instance to guide the ball with more precision.
But, proud of Pittsburgh. They battled and played well, despite being crushed on the glass... I followed Pitt super closely Capel's first few years. Then, I just gave up on the program after the XJ-Trey-Toney locker room drama. Between that and inheriting a team that went 0-18 in ACC play the year before, Capel has come a long ways. Happy for the success he's had this year. Hope he can sustain it.
26.6%. Good for DFL in all of college basketball. Allowed Capel to pack it inside on defense and not allow any room for Tolu Smith to operate.
I'm just glad that Pitt saved us from a Mississippi State-Iowa State matchup. That would have been brutal to watch.
Yikes! That is horrid. Surprised an SEC team would be that awful at shooting. That definitely made it easier to crowd Smith inside, but I was impressed with the Diaz Graham twins. They were more physical than I expected and held their own despite the weight disparity.
It seemed like he strictly prioritized talent his first couple years here, which resulted in the turmoil you mentioned. The last year or two he’s really embraced high-character over everything else. I truly believe our success is a result of the leaders in that locker room.
Seriously. Pretty sure okie state or Rutgers would have given a better showing.
Hell unc might even only be down 10.
Glad to hear it. Love Capel and really want that program to succeed.
