GAME RECAP: Pitt loses to Florida State, 71-64
Welp, that is a huge blow to their tournament chances. Florida State’s NET ranking is in the 200s.
FSU couldn’t miss from three in the first half and were up by 10 at the break. Pitt made a second half surge and actually took a 48-45 lead at some point, but poor shooting doomed them in the closing minutes. Let’s talk about the players (Note about player grade’s: They are in part based on the expectations for that particular player)
Jamarius Burton - He was Pitt’s leading scorer with 20 points on 8-13 shooting. He seemed to be the only player willing to get into the lane. He added five assists against three turnovers. His layup at 2:19 left cut the lead to 65-64, but Pitt woudn’t score again.
