I’m pretty sure JG had three fouls at the time and didn’t want to pick up a fourth by diving for fifty fifty ball. Not excusing the apparent lack of hustle, but just stating what could of been his reasoning.I missed a lot of today’s game (probably a blessing). So I can’t really speak to Joe’s performance besides looking at the stat line.
He obviously played poorly given the numbers. But there’s something that pisses me off more. One of the plays I did catch was a loose ball near mid court that two Pitt players dove/hustled for and Joe was just completely disinterested putting in the same effort. Obviously Pitt got the ball. He should’ve gotten benched for that.
