I think the big guy is better against more imposing post players, as teams that are able to move the ball/dribble and penetrate provide him with many more opportunities to get into foul trouble. With that said, great teams find a way to overcome obstacles. Sam Young is an NBA caliber forward (with the most wicked ball-fake I've seen in a long time) and he needs to put the team on his back in situations where Blair gets in trouble. I (unfortunately) haven't had the chance to watch much Pitt basketball, but from what I have seen, Young is capable of being better than anyone else out there when he wants to.<BR/><BR/>As for last night's loss, who knows? I think they were looking ahead to Connecticut. I'm sorry, but a team of Pitt's caliber just does not get blown out by a rival in a conference tournament game if they are focused. If this is true, coach Dixon has been provided with some excellent proof that no matter how good they think they are, all it takes is one bad game and they are going home. A focused Pitt team is almost unstoppable...hell, I don't think I've -ever- seen shooting as bad as Pitt's during the 2nd Connecticut game, and they still won by 10 (and Blair's statistical performance was underwhelming at best). They can be the best team in the country, now they have to play like it.Someone Somewherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12925623709780529874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-27722279059073572352009-03-13T09:07:00.000-04:002009-03-13T09:07:00.000-04:00CHOKE.....this should soften the blow of the annua...CHOKE.....this should soften the blow of the annual Sweet 16 exit.the nigerian nightmarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14340933813663075507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-10601310876904348512009-03-13T08:35:00.000-04:002009-03-13T08:35:00.000-04:00@ Pens Fan,It is the other way around for me; my c...@ Pens Fan,<BR/><BR/>It is the other way around for me; my cousins are WVU fans and they can do and say whatever they want and will talk some smack when WVU wins and blast Country Roads.

They had a great regular season, but from now until next Thursday, the satisfaction of the regular season is now gone and there is only disappointment in getting smoked by WVU in their only BET game. That has to make them hungry to accomplish something bigger.SantoGoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12687298578734437781noreply@blogger.com
