The Warren Washington/Des Cambridge Bowl! Obviously some scheme familiarity with Washington and Cambridge serving as well embedded moles for Alford, but this should be an entertaining game. PREDICTION: Miss St -2 (but could be tempted by Pitt if Federiko plays and/or this keeps going up, as there are some 2.5s popping up as I write this preview), under 133.5 To win, Pitt’s going to have to create collapse on the ball screen and find the open shooters and likely have to get major productive minutes from the Diaz Graham twins against Tolu if Federiko is out (who owns the highest DBPR on the team, per EvanMiya). Much of Pitt’s offense comes out of their pnrs, with 90th percentile grade outs in both frequency and efficiency, but we’ve seen MSU smother some absolutely elite PNR offenses, including arguably the best in the country in Marquette. Pitt did post 1.11 PPP against the heritage Tony Bennett pack line, and they didn’t even shoot it all that way that game.
Offensively, this is a decent matchup for Pitt on paper, as MSU is a packline principled unit, aggressive with their help, daring you to shoot it over the top on kick outs and catch and shoots, which this Pitt unit is fully capable of, with a top 40 catch and shoot rate. Pitt’s defensive structure is already plenty compact, owning a top 75 far shot rate per Haslam, and it will have to be even denser in Dayton, and there are a lot of Bulldogs you can help off of on Tolu’s post and his roll. As a result, MSU grades out in the 10th percentile in ball screen efficiency per Synergy. Obviously the game plan from Capel here is back it up and pack it in, but Jans tries to work around that by putting his athletic forwards like Jeffries in ball screens and moving Matthews around in motion, but it’s all one dimensional because they don’t command jump shot respect. MSU’s post reliance really comes under the microscope with Pitt’s Fede Federiko looking more and more questionable, at best. The crazy things about MSU is that they generate looks at a reasonably high rate, but they’re 342nd in shot making rating per ShotQuality metrics. Hundreds of fans - many in Bryant jerseys and Lakers gear - spontaneously gathered at Staples Center and in the surrounding LA Live entertainment complex, weeping and staring at video boards with Bryant’s image.Īmong those killed were John Altobelli, head coach of Southern California’s Orange Coast College baseball team, his wife, Keri, and daughter, Alyssa, who played on the same team as Bryant’s daughter, said his brother, Tony, who is the sports information director at the school.Miss State is the ultimate rock fight team, as they have to pound it inside to Tolu to be effective offensively, as they have zero shooters. He regularly showcased her talents on the court on social media.īryant’s death was felt particularly painfully in Los Angeles, where he was unquestionably the most popular athlete and one of the city’s most beloved public figures.

Green said a pilot flying an S-76 would be instrument-rated, meaning they could fly the helicopter without relying on visual cues from outside.Īll around the world, people were glued to their phones and TV screens as news of the crash spread and networks broke into programming with live coverage. Pilots can become disoriented in low visibility, losing track of which direction is up.
Justin Green, an aviation attorney in New York who flew helicopters in the Marine Corps, said weather may have contributed to the crash. The impact scattered debris over an area about the size of a football field, Villanueva said.Īmong other things, investigators will look at the pilot’s history, the chopper’s maintenance history, and the records of its owner and operator, NTSB board member Jennifer Homendy said at a news conference. At the time of the crash, the Los Angles County Sheriff’s Department had grounded its own helicopters because of the poor weather conditions.
