That's kind of what kept Pitt in this game for the first, what, 30 minutes?

Maybe 25 minutes.

But those combinations led to just some funky play.

It was a weird game to really describe how it played out.

But once we went on the run, and then we went on kind of another mini run where we just kind of shut down Pitt,

and started making some shots, it's clear that this team thrives from the momentum.

And when things aren't going your way on offense and on defense, they're hitting weird shots that you're like, oh, this shouldn't be going in for them, but it is.

I get it.

On the basketball court, it just makes you think a little bit more on the court where there's parts of this game where you should not be thinking.

You should just be going off of what you know, going off the muscle memory of these plays.

But you could see guys out there with the wheels returning inside, and they were trying to figure out what that was, and they just couldn't come up with any answers.

So it's just a combination of a lot of things, but the long and short of it is the sloppiness of...

was what kept Pitt in this game.

Against a better team, again, like a Michigan, like a Clemson, like we'll see UNC again, the sloppy play is going to cost us points, actual points that will matter at the end.

It's about cleaning that up.

It's an easy thing to fix.

It's not something that's been completely an upward trend or something like that, but it is something that we have to pay attention to because, as you mentioned, that 12th threshold, very important.

That's usually the difference between...

really winning a game in hand or struggling to win or losing?

Yeah, it was a funny play.
