The Big East Men's basketball teams in the NCAA Tournament played like sugar & spice and they faded like a Vanilla Fudge Sunday on a hot summer's day in July. All these Big East teams were overrated except for West Virginia and the Orangemen of Syracuse.
Did Pitt's Ashton Gibbs forget that he was suppose to play two half's of basketball? Why didn't the All World Pitt coach Jamie Dixon design a few plays for Gibbs that would have put him in a better position to score ?
Why wasn't Ashton Gibbs working harder to get in a position to score?
The inside play of Gary McGhee was atrocious. McGhee couldn't grab any offensive or defensive rebounds and he can only make a basket on a dunk when none of his opponents are around the hoop. McGhee like the so-called high school All-American Dante Taylor appears to be very soft and timid and both players have candy hands. Perhaps coach Dixon will put all his players on a serious weight program this off season. Dixon also needs to show some films of Sammy "Bam" Clancy, Jerome Lane, and Jimmy Bolla perfecting the art of offensive and defensive rebounding.
The key to excellent rebounding is timing and positioning. One has to have the mindset that every time there is a shot, that it's my rebound.
You have to love to play defensive basketball and you have to bring passion, intensity and ferociousness for every second of the game.
