Pitt Game Thread ... Rico's Gone

[SoBeCuse]

Bad offense. Bad defense. Two games in a row. Not good.

Defense is good enough today, imo. We have 45 right now. Pitt only has 52

 

[OrangeSky]

poor shot selection

 

[NineOneSeven]

Define knowledgeable.

That's why I didn't put my prediction in the prediction thread!

I'd be too negative

 

[rrlbees]

The crowd needs to be more involved.

Are you even here? It's been loud as hell.

 

[Dave85]

Oh my God a defensive rebound!

 

[djcon57]

We don't make outside shots, we don't win. Pretty simple.

 

[Dave85]

Are you there now?

 

[NineOneSeven]

Lots of time left but our guards need to make shots and they have been horrible today.

And need to rebound.

Looks bleak but possible.

 

[dasher]

I like jb but just once I would love to see him have to deal witha hostile press after a game like this

 

[rrlbees]

Howard is going to get an air filled with JB's mouth

Yea. JB didn't go 4 guards with all 3 shooters for Frank to take that shot.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Poor coaching my jb today. We have to do something different on offense against these guys. They got what we do, down pat.

Agreed, love JB but the stubbornness is ridiculous when it comes to Pitt and trying something/anything different

 

[PauliePeppas]

He NEVER hits both free throws it seems

 

[GardenOrange]

Nobody else has this problem with them. Blame us and our inability to adapt.

Who's fault is that? Outcoached everytime we play this team, and it's not like they do something different to beat us. Always the same. You might say it's about our execution, but I disagree. We have nothing different to throw at Pitt, ever. They overhedge on the pick and roll every time. We need to split that or give it up to the pick, but we never do it.

Rebounding

 

[NineOneSeven]

Back on the bubble if score holds. Critical we beat NCSt and FSU.

 

[JoeSU]

Exact same scenario as the first Pitt game

 

[OrangeSky]

Dixon is creepy, but he always has his team ready to go against us.

 

[OrangeDW]

Are you even here? It's been loud as hell.

You're posting here while at the game? Must be a raucous atmosphere.

 

[two3zone]

Back on the bubble if score holds. Critical we beat NCSt and FSU.

Must wins.

 

[Dave85]

Now the crowd is helping. Nice block by Lydon.

 

[dasher]

two ass'ts of Jaime getting a head coaching job? Is he serious?

 

[PauliePeppas]

Is this ref effin serious? Or just on ambien going that slow

 

[Dave85]

Friggen root canal game. I hate these.

I think we agree? I love JB and everything he's done but if he's going to be 2-3 exclusive then I'm ready to move on. We can still run it 80-90% of the time but we need to have a change up. Instead we get out worked, out coached and out rebounded by the same friggin 3 teams every year.

 

[UelSU]

Must wins.

Yep. We never do anything easy.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

February swoon is alive and well.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Hahah that defense
