I was suprised how "un-physical" Pitt was compared to the past, especially in the paint, where they have always been, as we well know, overly aggressive at times. Especially now, when the zebras are calling everything 25 ft from the hoop and letting all sorts of stuff go inside. The D they played hardly showed any of their old Big East pedigree.
Their offense went cold at the wrong time, just as Duke was heating up from outside. Did them in.
