Pitt Post Game Thread with Mark, Hav and Fresh

I was at the game, so this may have been discussed in the in-game thread, but I liked the Jayden at 5 line-up and thought it could have gotten a little more run last night. He was holding up well against Hugley in the post. Maybe it’s too vulnerable to what Pitt was doing on ball-screens, but I think it may have allowed for some better lineups against the zone. That being said, Caffaro had a fairly productive day and seemed to my eye to have done the best job defending Hugley, as he stood him up in post well and also got a couple of deflections and a steal on post entries, so maybe that wasn’t really the big issue.

Yeah Caffaro looked like a serviceable player the past two games. You can usually count on several doofus plays a night from him but I think he only had one, played decent D, and had a handful of points. I’ve given him lots of grief so happily eating some crow on him right now. Hope he continues to progress.
