Pitt Post Game

[kingtidge]

Outrebound Pitt by 17 and lose. Not on my bingo card.

When you can't stop layups, the game can get a little stretched.

It's actually laughable how bad we are defensively.

I have never seen anything like it.

Morbidly fascinating.

Petar showed some good things. Played his arse off.
They may have been all below the rim and some of them off his own misses, but 23 boards is impressive by Eddie
This game was lost in the first 10 minutes of the second half when we decided to stop playing defense. Pitt got a bunch of dunks and lays and easy looks. We were settling on offense, not moving without the ball and appeared not to have any real offensive plan.
11-32 from three, 8-13 free throws
Not to belabor the obvious, but we just aren’t very good. Choppa looked better today and I would’ve liked to have seen him get a few more minutes as we hopefully build towards the future that he may be a part of.

Half eddies rebounds are his own missed bunnies. There should be a Lampkin constant or Reese constant (after the paragon of rebound stat padding)

FR= TR (1-TR/MB)

Where FR= functional rebounds
TR= total rebounds
MB= Missed bunnies

Got to lover Red not opening his mouth all game to teach or coach his kids on what they are doing right or wrong. Just so bad. I was never the biggest JB fan but at least he coached all game long. The silver lining here is the more losses we have the quicker Red get let go. These losses suck, but we need for it to get worse before it gets better

I think if Red puts up 20+ losses this season you have to let him go. You can’t sacrifice another year of the program declining just in the hopes that White and Anthony may make a difference (which is highly unlikely they will)

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Pitt isn't even a good team. They're basically mediocre.

Only they’re top 40

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Still haven't beaten a good or even average team this year.

Atleast we ended Pitts 4 game losing streak. Helps out the ACC...

ACC is just as good as the SEC at this point.
Both leagues are the same .500 since January 1.

I will say to their credit for the most part the kids played hard today.

 

[Newhouser]

Execution in key moments determined the game. Granted our lack of D helps but PITT ran sets and got shots. We get JJ running 200 mph thru people for a contested heave.
We all know Red can't get it done. Only reason he's staying is cheapness and optics, and of course the Brinks truck Melo is going to park at the Melo center (sarcasm).

I watched the first half and then said, time to go to Aldi.

 

[tbonezone]

since when does having your 23 yr old center lead you in minutes played ever worked ? sub 500 . again.

This was our Super Bowl. And we lost.

Up next, our next Super Bowl.

LGO!!!!!

Hodgson or bust

Eddie 23 rebounds are the most by an SU player since Dave Bing's 25 against Cornell on 2/3/1966.

Six other SU players have had 23-rebound games, but none since DC 3/10/90 against Villanova in the Big East Tournament. The last time it happened in a regular season game was Danny Schayes vs. Georgetown on 2/9/81.

Crazy that Bing got those rebound numbers at 6’3“ 180 lbs.

Yeah, effort was generally there, which is more than can be said for a defensive plan.

Any good aldi new finds?

For sure, just didn’t play smart enough to pull it out. This was the formula for how we used to lose games so I guess that’s progress!

Our next game is Wednesday at Stanford, 11 pm Eastern.

There's just no way I can stay up until 1 am on a Wednesday night for a sub .500 team.

ok. dave bing , derrick and danny all WON those games. what matter most ? stats or W's ?

Any good aldi new finds?

I was just there for some usual groceries, did not really look for anything outside of the basic stuff I was there for.

 

[JDubbin]

Any good aldi new finds?

A guy on my staff team showed up to a meeting in a pair of sneakers I had never seen before, which is rare (currently have 190 pairs in my collection/Syracusefan.com resident sneakerhead )… he’s like “yeah, they’re Aldi brand, bought them at the store” - I was shaken to my very core!

We lost. I can see into the future.

 

[OCESIP]

The pathetic thing is a loss like this used to really hurt and stuck with fans for days. Now it's just another one and doesn't matter. Nothing to feel bad about since the reality is the program isn't close to what it was.

I'll fall asleep trying to watch it as I do with anything I try to watch at that hour.

To fix that for me, there's just no way I can stay up until tipoff on a Wednesday night.
