Pitt never trailed against St. Francis (NY), but they sure let the Terriers hang around for quite a while, before pulling away to a deceptively large final score 79-58. Pitt hoisted way too many and missed an overwhelming majority of 3s (4-20).
This was a case of a bigger, stronger team wearing down a smaller team — again.
Gray had a very good game with 22 points and 11 rebounds. His 3rd double-double in 4 games.
Krauser was part of the problem with 3s (1-7) and seems to have lost his free throw touch (1-4), but he still put in 18 points, 6 rebounds, 6 steals and 5 assists.
UPDATE: One mitigating factor: injuries. Listening to Coach Jamie Dixon afterwards with Hillgrove and Groat, Doyle Hudson was scratched because of an ankle injury and Antonio Graves went down very early in the game with an ankle injury — unknown how severe, but Coach Dixon didn’t seem overly concerned postgame.
