In the last two games, our guards have won the battles of the backcourts. Something that's been relatively inconsistent due to inconsistent shooting. But in the ACC tournament, we've been pretty dominant in the backcourt against some pretty good backcourts.
PITTSBURGH:
Cam Johnson/James Robinson/Sterling Smith/Chris Jones:
14 pts, 7 rbs, 7 ast, 5 to, 6-23 FG (26%), 1-6 3PT (16.7%)
Paige/Berry/Britt/Pinson/Williams:
42 pts, 5 rbs, 15 ast, 9 to, 15-23 FG (65.2%), 5-9 3PT (55.6%)
Key Guard stats +/-
Points: +28
Assists: +8
Turnovers: -4
FG%: +39.2%
3PT%: +38.9%
NOTRE DAME:
Jackson/Vasturia/Pflueger/Farrell:
12 pts, 6 rbs, 6 ast, 8 to, 1-23 FG (4.3%), 1-10 3PT (10%)
Paige/Berry/Britt/Pinson:
27 pts, 11 rbs, 15 ast, 2 to, 13-24 FG (54.2%), 6-13 (46.2%)
Key Guard stats +/-
Points: +15
Assists: +9
Turnovers: +6
FG%: +49.9%
3PT%: +36.2
Going into games, we'll probably have an advantage in the frontcourt. If we continue to get our guards to win their battle, that makes us really tough to beat. Hell of a performance the last two days in DC.
