“I feel like sometimes we second-guessed ourselves, whether it’s passing up an open shot or just having a lane and not taking it. Sometimes, if you see an opportunity, you just gotta go out there and make the play. We had some good plays too. I feel like Coach had some good plays. But I feel like we just got to be more confident.”

Following Pittsburgh’s 70-54 loss to Duke on Tuesday Pittsburgh Head Coach Jeff Capel shared his thoughts in an opening statement on his game plan on interior defense verses Duke’s post players about his struggling to finish at rim about his teams 3 pointer shooting in the first half Barry Dunning Jr. performance Roman Siulepa’s defensive assignments Roman dealing with Cameron Boozer by saying!
Proud of my team for how we fought. We were ready to play. We had it at six at half. I didn’t think we ended the half well. Think it was a two-point game with three-and-a-half minutes left and we didn’t end the half well.
To start the second half, we missed a layup, we missed two free throws, we had a wide open three that we missed and that turned into points for them, where they were able to extend the lead to 11.
I loved how we responded out of the timeout, we got it down to five, but we had too many mistakes, too many ‘my bad’s’, that when you’re playing against a really good team like that, you have to eliminate those and we didn’t do that.
“But I’m proud of our fight. We were in a position. It was a 10-point game. If we make a couple more shots, make a couple layups, make a couple free throws, maybe we put a little game pressure on them, but kudos to them for stepping up and making big plays. Obviously Cameron Boozer’s a very, very good player and Isaiah Evans is also a really good player.
thought the execution of it was really good. In the first half they hurt us on their cutting. We wanted to double, that was our game plan with Boozer, we wanted to double him. They hurt us a couple times in the first half on the cuts. We weren’t there and we showed them at halftime. I thought we did a much better job of that in the second half.”
We’re in the middle of February. We should know, it’s a contact sport. These guys have been playing basketball long enough to understand it’s a contact sport. We’ve not been good at finishing all year and I hope we can better, but we probably aren’t going to be, just being completely honest.
t’s the middle of February, I don’t know what our record is, but I know we’re 20-plus games in. You normally are who you are right now. You hope that we can finish better as we move forward, but we’re not good at it.”
Well some of it was that. Some of it was that we knew, they’re big. They’re big at every position and so it’s difficult at times to get to the rim against them and then they went to where they were switching because we were having some success moving the ball and their switching bothered us.
"I thought the first five to six minutes we did a really good job of generating looks. We were moving it and then I thought for a moment we got stagnant and then we did a better job and then we got stagnant at the end of the half.
Their defense had something to do with it, but we knew coming into this game that we wanted to pop our bigs to try to get some spacing, try to get to the second side and it lead to some shots for us. Some of them were not good shots though."
He made some shots, he did a good job. He hadn’t made shots in a while, so it was good to see some shots. He’s a good player and he had a good night.”
Roman accepts every challenge. He’s learning a lot, he’s gotten a lot better. He was excited, as were all the guys, to play tonight. Obviously it’s a big challenge, playing against one of the better players in the country. Probably the leader for ACC Player of the Year in Cameron Boozer and I thought he did a nice job.”
Roman’s pretty strong too. Roman’s a naturally strong guy. He’s not going to back down from anybody. That’s one thing I’m never concerned with Roman, is him backing down from no matter who we play.”
