Recap SMU, And Moving On To Marquette
4:30 pm, ESPN2. Hope you finish work early today.
It wasn’t close to a debacle, but it wasn’t great either. Losing to this SMU team was not a surprise, but the second half performance by Pitt was disappointing.
As we have seen in all three games, Pitt is still a team that will go on extended scoring droughts and its commitment to defense ranges from indifferent to inconsistent.
As a brief aside on consistency, Paul Zeise writing a column yesterday about how Pitt needs to play better defense. This after 4 years or so of veiled and open shots about Pitt putting defense first and not being as watchable since the offense didn’t flow. Special.
