Pitt Game Thread...

So . . . . he was due?

In that case, I expect a barrage of Devendorf like finishes at the rim this half from all our guys because...they’re all due.

We knew this game wouldn't be a beauty contest but we're in it. Let's get it.

Beauty contest this is like a leper colony contest

I haven't seen a halftime score like this since I was in grade school. I am almost 50.

This is a “Hoosiers” type score. Put Ollie in, and make our guys make 4 passes before shooting, Jimmy!

Its games like this I wish I wasn't an SU fanatic. How in the world can u give us 80+ on Wed and then give is this crap.

Look at the bright side. We scored as much as Duke did in the first half today.

Pitt's defense is on par with Virginia's. Right?

Only 10 more minutes until this game resumes!

"defensive battle"

ACC Basketball this year feels like a typical B1G Football season. A bunch of highly ranked teams that shouldn't be ranked high, and mediocre conference teams keep beating them to build resumes.

That box score

The amazing stat to me is Pitt with 5 blocks. How bad is that??

The last game we had 5 guys in double figures. I am happy the team is in double figures. Credit Pitt for playing aggressive D, but this is a bit much. JB will make adjustments and settle the guys down.

Total no show by pretty much everyone. And yet, they lead by 2.

Incredible how bad Pitt is. But we aren’t much better. Sad.

Where's that simpsons gif of backing up into the bushes. That's me right now after coming in a bar and asking the bartender to turn on our game.

In a season full of unwatchable basketball, that was the most unwatchable 20 minutes of the year.

Good lord.

It's great seeing us play such incredible stifling D, keeping such a potent Pitt team from scoring a fg for 9 + minutes in that first half. Amazingly, we have a 2 point lead at half, on the road to boot! Hope our O wakes up in the 2nd half to reward such great defensive play that has afforded us a chance to get our first big W on the road!

I would support this game plan right now, but not all our guys can make passes (some can't catch them!).

P.S. Love the reference.

Highlights from the first half:

 

[Col. Bleep]

For the first time I'm glad to be in the North Jersey black hole...with no ACC Network TV.
It's painful just listening to this game.
The only upside is Matt Park finally giving the score after every make...he has plenty of time between them.

 

[NorSyr66]

Absolutely hate to say this again, but here we are playing to the competitions level. Need to take care of the ball and attack. Too much passing out front. At least Sidibe and Washington looked good for us.

 

[NKR1978]

I cleaned my kitchen, so at least I got something out of that half.

He’s been pretty passive today that’s for sure. Almost like he forgot how to play with a 3rd guard.

 

[skurey]

Just win baby

Highly entertaining game thus far...a real slobber knocker.

Grab a few brewski’s boys and everything looks good.
