Steel and redshirts

Pitt is one of my favorite teams because they play hard-nosed, blue collar basketball. But there are a lot of interesting things about this basketball team so far this year. First, although their schedule has not been very tough, they are undefeated. Second, of the 14 players on their roster, exactly half of them have been redshirts. Third, they have an absurdly good 1.80 team assist/turnover ratio. Who knows how they will do against conference talent when they get into the ACC season, but so far they have given us reasons to think they are pretty good.
