The amazing part was that it took them to OT to get  those scores ...............!

that is some aweful offense.  Any good offensive team should be able to score above 49 pts after 45 minute game... 1.1 pts per minute is aweful.

Thats usually true unless you play Pitt.  They cant run or fast break with a lot of teams, so they outmuscle and push and keep the other team from running. Pitt is the best defensive team in the country and the best team in the country period.

Nobody is going to beat Pitt by more than 5-7 points.

At the end of regulation, the 2 teams were tied 44/44.

You guys will find out soon enough how physical the BE BB is.  Then you will understand.

i don't think they are the best team in the country, they are good, but there are alot of teams that i would favor over them, good defense or not.  And some of the teams i'd choose over them, aren't even ranked in the top 10 right now, but just wait til the tourney.
