Pitt game thread...

[SyracuseMiami]

Does Hopkins not have enough awareness to know when it's a good time to call a time out. He finally calls one after the game is totally out of hand. Sheesh!

 

[longislandcuse]

Honestly I don't even want Lydon out there anymore if he's going to play like this.

 

[Cusefan0307]

College basketball loves the charge. It's why it sucks.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

This team is too small to compete with a team like Pitt.

Lol. We're too small to compete with any top 150 team

 

[jgeorge322]

Lydon isnt a five. Not his fault. Amazing we even have to play him there.

Also. How about free throws. Mf'er again

 

[Eric15]

NCAA messed us in so many ways...

It's not the NCAA's fault that Pitt just pushed us around for the 18th millionth consecutive time and DC and Chino are essentially worthless.

This team is too small to compete with just about any ACC team. Get used to getting crushed on the offensive glass. If Lydon is going go give us nothing then Obokoh needs more time.

 

[Dave85]

Hop should have called timeout before it became a 8-0 run. Really bad.

 

[Ghost]

Missed free throws.

Poor rebounding.

Lydon's complete disappearance.

Officials tightening up big time in the second half.

Just didn't have enough to pull this one out.

Looked close, but think Gbiniji charged...

go away

Our team should practice free-throws in the gym.

Yup. It's not the game I love at all. In fact, I'm beginning to actively hate it. Don't have a good answer for why I still watch.

yep top 150 teams like ucon and a&M

 

[longislandcuse]

You mean jumping a foot into a driving player isn't a charge?

 

[Cuse_1999]

WTH was that Cooney???

Been saying for 3 years nothing good happens when he drives unless a bailout foul is called. But he played pretty well overall. Big guys need to get position. Getting outrebounded like that is pathetic

 

[Cuse House]

I'm sad.

 

[jgeorge322]

Hey hop. Tell them to shoot a 3.

I was thinking that too earlier - Lydon is allowing every pass to get through, not grabbing boards, on offense too tentative to do anything - might as well throw some minutes to Chino (and watch him foul out quickly!). Maybe he could compete on the boards a bit? Not sure though.

Hop should have called timeout on the 4-0, 6-0, 8-0 part of the run with a few minutes left in the 2nd half.

free throws didn't beat us dave. We can't defend the post. You just can't win the way we are forced top play this year.

I agree but how many times are you planning to say that?

 

[We Are Syracuse]

This is utterly insane that a program like syracuse is getting outrebounded by THIRTY every other game. I just can't wrap my head around it. Teams could literally just throw the ball at the hoop and get the rebound for a layup and that's the best way to beat syracuse

 

[OrangeDW]

And the dumbass announcers are all "oh yeah, that's a charge." I swear like 75% of the population is absolutely clueless about basketball now. Too many years watching this garbage and being brainwashed I guess.

 

[Ghost]

Hop should have called timeout on the 4-0, 6-0, 8-0 part of the run with a few minutes left in the 2nd half.

Yeah, pretty inexplicable we didn't use a timeout at any point when the time appeared to start panicking a bit.

Coach Hop let the game get out of control. He should have called timeout during a late second half run. Instead he watched.
