Byron and the midrange jumper

Something I don’t think we mentioned in all our extensive coverage of the Tennessee game:
A major key was Byron Eaton’s pullup jumper from 8-12 feet. That’s a shot he was struggling with the last couple weeks — if you recall, he missed about five of those in the second Bedlam game in Norman. He hit that shot at two critical points against the Vols.
That’s going to be a key shot today against Pitt, because the Panthers obviously protect the rim extremely well. Not saying Eaton shouldn’t try to get all the way to the rim, but in some situations he’s going to need that jumper and it’s good he gained a little confidence in it the other day.
