[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 390152, member: 1776"] Great student crowd. They were really into the game. Though I would have destroyed either of the kids who played mariocart at halftime. Great to see CGB slowly ramping up. I think it is less hobbling and more just trying to shake rust off. Great to see him hit the first three. A couple of plays later he made a great fake on a three and drove the lane, but had the basket waived off (correctly) for an offensive charge. Just took one too many steps. But he'll get better as he gets more time. You can pretty much count on Tad to fall asleep on defense on one of the first possessions he comes into the game. Brey killed us out of timeouts. This was mentioned on the Syracuse board last weekend as well. I think ND scored every time on offense coming out of a TO. They got alot of baskets off of pick and rolls or screen and rolls. Pflueger reportedly had the flu or something like it, but JO was pretty determined not to let him get going at all. Students were all over him all game. They kept chanting - "we want 0'. Would cheer whenever he re-entered the game and then taunt him. AD is coming along. If he would just make a quick move after receiving a pass rather than gathering himself and thinking about what he wants to do he had 2-3 layup opportunities. But he also had one of the biggest baskets of the game - running down the loose ball and making a 15 ft baseline shot as the clock expired. GT did much better against ND's 2-3 zone once it put Josh in the middle of it. GT did a really good job on Gibbs in the first half - holding him to 2 pts. Seems like GT has its likely 7 man rotation with CGB back. Pastner mentioned after the game that he went small with CGB late in the game because he was getting deflections and when ND went 5 shooters he felt CGB was more comfortable on perimeter than AD. Given Pitt's lack of size and high percentage of threes taken (almost 50% of their shots in ACC games) I expect to see alot of small ball this weekend. Once CGB is 100% back and shaken the rust off I wouldn't be surprised to see him start and have Alston come off the bench. Alston had 2 really nice buckets early in the second half to keep ND from making an early charge in that half. I thought ND was the more aggressive team the first ten minutes of the game, outrebounding GT 15-10, getting the 50/50 balls but GT seemed to match the intensity after that. GT is the first team to outrebound ND in conference play. Even taking the loss I was pretty impressed with ND. Without their top 2 players they really are hanging together as a team and everyone is elevating their game to try to help. But it gets harder the longer you go without those big guys. They play quite smart and don't do much to beat themselves. [/QUOTE]
