Game 11: Yikes: Pitt 89 Bethune-Cookman 40

BGW as usual
Well, Bethune Cookman is terrible and Pitt absolutely destroyed them.  Just how bad was it?

Let's go to the numbers.

-Pitt out-rebounded them 37-11.
-The score was once 25-21 Pitt.  Then a 64-19 run happened over the last 25 minutes.
-Their best player Adrien Coleman, who recorded one of only three triple doubles in D1 this season (another was recorded by Schenley HS grad Deandre Kane for Marshall), was held to 6 points.
-The 49 part margin was the largest in Pete history and the 6th largest ever for Pitt.
-Pitt had 28 assists on 37 field goals.

Spoiler alert:  I'm going to give out a lot of A's.

Tray Woodall - He only took one shot (a 3 which he made) but he had his first double digit assist night of the season.  He only played 21 minutes since the outcome of the game was never in doubt.

Grade: A
Season GPA = 3.64

James Robinson - He ripped the net on a corner three in the second half and a mid-range pull-up in the first.  However, an unusually high 2 turnovers (2!) keeps his grade from an A.
By the way, I love the fact that I'm shocked that a freshman point guard turned the ball over twice.

Grade: A-
Season GPA = 3.89

Steven Adams - This could be considered a coming-out party for Adams since he recorded his first double-double.  Granted, the tallest starter for BC was 6'7" so he should have had 30 and 20 instead of 16 and 10.  He dunked the ball a lot and almost finished an alley-oop but blew the dunk.  It didn't really matter because he got the rebound and laid it in.  He also didn't turn the ball over which is always nice.  Turnovers from big men make me a sad panda.

Grade: A+
Season GPA = 3.14

Lamar Patterson - Your typical Lamar performance last night included 5-7 from the field and 11 points.  Toss in a few steals, assists and rebounds as well.  He's shaken off a slow start to become the Lamar we all expected based on the end of last season.

Grade: A
Season GPA = 3.67

Talib Zanna - He had 11 points and 5 rebounds.  I don't really remember much from him.  I imagine he would have had more rebounds if Adams and Taylor didn't grab every single one.

Grade: A
Season GPA = 3.82

J.J. Moore - I think at one point JJ was almost outscoring BC by himself.  He had 14 in the first half, was hitting baseline jumpers, dunking the ball, and basically being the good J.J. Moore.  We've missed that these past few games.

Grade: A
Season GPA = 3.5

Dante Taylor - He made both of his shots and both of his free throws.  He also had 11 rebounds and 0 turnovers.  Basically a perfect performance from him.

Grade: A
Season GPA = 3.14

Cameron Wright - He shot 75% and didn't turn it over.  That's good enough for me.

Grade: A-
Season GPA = 3.41

Durand Johnson - Somehow recorded 4 fouls in 13 minutes.  Other than that, he did hit 2-3 from the field.

Grade: A-
Season GPA = 3.13

Trey Ziegler - Managed to only piss me off once during the whole game.  This statement alone is worthy of an A- from me.

Grade A-
Season GPA = 2.85

Game GPA = 3.9
Season GPA = 3.42

Pitt plays Delaware State on Wednesday.

Hail to Pitt,
J.O.
