As Jerry Carino pointed out, - Prior to tonight's game, Pitt played 4 (four) P5 Opponents to date and we played nada.
I'm sure this had an impact on the game given the speed; athleticism etc that we were not used to playing against.
Pitt played Florida State; West Virginia; Kansas State and Northwestern to date while also playing in a tournament getting more acclimated to playing outside the confines of their home court.
As we all basically have previously communicated, we need to toughen up the OOC Schedule and as well as playing in a tourney so the team is more acclimated to playing away from the RAC.
We may have a worse OOC Record but playing with the big boys earlier and away from the RAC will toughen up the squad in my humble opinion and we'll be better prepared for the these type of games.
Onto Sparty now.......
