I have always thought and still do with the injuries that we have to win in Pitt. Its been 14 years since we have won a Conference Championship in a tourney. Josh will be back and we need him to be able to give us 20 a game and some inside presence. 75% of Josh is a better value than Sam and at Times X. Archie will get Cooke back in the flow and we are a pretty darn good defensive team. Think about we had 14 steals and 6 blocks and got our asses kicked. So Sat is very important, get back on track and set up a great Home game with Richmond who should be undefeated in the conference when they come. Changes.... shorten the rotation, Sam out and Crosby only a min before a Timeout to give Scoochie a rest. Archie in the 4 losses teams have shut down our half court offense. I am begging you to get aggressive and trap and press early to get the O going. we are really good at it. Pitt is a great city start making plans for the A Ten we need to get the 4 Seniors to the NCAA!

I would not call last night a trap. First off, UD is not that good of a team at this juncture. Signs of getting better prior to last night? Absolutely but far from a polished team. Secondly, they certainly don't have a rival game or even an adequate opponent coming up on saturday so ZERO reason to even look ahead..
Not only the stats you mentioned but Mass also shot under 50% from the charity stripe AND had 17 TO's and still kicked UD's arse..
