Hopefully good things to say before, during and after.

HALFTIME UPDATE: Pitt winning 39-16.

Look, Pitt is playing some great defense, but they are being aided significantly by Louisville playing tighter than Peyton Manning in a meaningful game.

Hard to find much to complain about that doesn’t seem nit-picking right now.

FINAL UPDATE: Pitt holds on 61-56.

Oy.

They had to make us sweat. No FGs in the final 13:38 is what they said. I guess that’s why it’s good to build up a huge lead.

Hate to say it, but Gray needs to learn to take his hands from off his throat in the final minute or two when shooting free throws.

I don’t disagree with Dixon’s strategy to run clock. It had been working to a point, but Pitt players really lost focus.

Kendall was playing tremendous defense. He had like 5 blocks.

More later.
