Jamie's disclipline pays off. Fields wins it. Hope they enjoy it. We will kick their ass in MKE.

I'd say the key matchups are:


  • How many turnovers Duke is able to force
  • How well Pitt does at preventing open shots (especially from three) to keep the FG% down
  • The offensive rebound % that Pitt is able to pull down.  This is a strength vs. strength matchup.


In case anyone is interested how these matchups ended up.

Duke forced a Turnover Rate of 27% on twenty-two turnovers by Pitt.  Pitt averages 19%, which is quite good.  Advantage Duke - they forced the extra turnovers

Duke had effective FG% (that's FG% adjusted to account for the extra value of a three) of 41%.  Duke averages 57.5%.  Advantage Pitt - they limited the open looks

Pitt got an Offensive Rebounding % of 37.8%.  They average 42%, so this is down, but Duke usually only lets opponents get a rate of 30%.  Not only that, but Duke only got an OR% of 23%.  Clearly, DeJuan Blair with his 20 RB (7 OR) played a yuge role here.  Advantage Pitt - they controlled the boards on both ends

Blair is going to win BIG EAST Newcomer of the Year and it won't even be close.

That was a great game last night.  People who don't have a passion for college basketball believe its all about the NCAA tournament.  The game last night proves how much fun the college game is during the season.
