Plenty of people questioning the ability of Pitt to go deep in March with their offense. Specifically the struggles on the perimeter. One exception would be Mike DeCourcy. He points out that Memphis got to the national championship game shooting nearly the same clip. Pitt at least shoots less 3s than Memphis. Which means that the team is less dependent on them or necessarily doomed if it is a cold shooting perimeter night.

But typically you can find — even in the most supportive writers — this from Fran Fraschilla (Inisder subs):

Pittsburgh coach Jamie Dixon: One more outside shooter
I love a lot about the Panthers, most of all their toughness. The defense and rebounding will keep them in virtually every game this season. And Dixon’s “foundation” of DeJuan Blair, Sam Young and Levance Fields rivals anyone this side of Chapel Hill. If there is an Achilles’ heel, at the moment, it is their inconsistent 34 percent outside shooting. Freshman Ashton Gibbs, who hails from the same high school as former Panthers star Brandin Knight, might be the guy who can help the most.

Or FoxSports.com’s Jeff Goodman:

Pittsburgh (12-0) — I’m not sold on the fact that Pittsburgh is the No. 3 team in the country, but the Panthers are certainly a team capable of making an Elite Eight or even a Final Four run. Jamie Dixon’s team is built around three players — point guard Levance Fields, versatile forward Sam Young and big man DeJuan Blair. Jermaine Dixon gives the Panthers a lock-down defender on the perimeter, but Pittsburgh still needs to find a consistent perimeter shooter.
Notches: Siena, Washington State, Texas Tech
Formidable Test: Jan. 3 at Georgetown
Key Question: Will the Panthers make enough perimeter shots when it matters?

I’m not saying I’m not concerned. I’m just waiting to see how things play out after the first week or two of Big East play. That’s when we’ll have a better sense of how things are really going.  Not to mention seeing the rotation really settle more.
