Vanderbilt 75, Pitt 74: Sometimes, you have to survive hot shooting

When the other team is shooting the lights out, you just have to survive it.

Vanderbilt weathered a 12-of-25 shooting performance from beyond the arc in the simplest way possible: the Commodores simply got more shots off and made a decent number of them. 10-of-31 three-point shooting is nothing to write home about, nor is 18-of-39 inside the arc — but note how many shots Vanderbilt took. Pitt took 50 shots and Vanderbilt took 70, and while Pitt made up some of that difference by getting to the foul line more, Vanderbilt just generated a ton of extra chances by grabbing their own misses and limiting turnovers.
