Following Pittsburgh’s 86-67 loss to SMU Saturday in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Pittsburgh Head Coach Jeff Capel shared his thoughts by saying Congrats to SMU, they’re an outstanding team. They put together a great roster with experience, elite level guard play, a really good big guy inside and young energetic guys off the bench.
"They’re one of the best offensive teams in our league, you saw it for a reason. They lead our league in scoring.
"I thought we did a good job in the first half. We generated good looks, it’s a two-point game. I thought we came out and generated good looks to start the second half, we missed and we allowed that to affect everything and it started with us not getting back in transition defense, giving them easy baskets.
"They went on a 10-0 run to start the half and we could never really recover from that. At one point we got it back to 12, forced them to call a timeout, right around the eight-minute mark and from there, we couldn’t get stops and we couldn’t make shots.
"So obviously frustrating from us. There were some good things we did, but obviously, nowhere near good enough."
