Pitt Postgame Thoughts

[tptcuse]

We beat Pitt!

 

[CardiacCuse]

great win

Judah was up and down...but some great assists late to seal the win

 

[althea]

Nice effort. God I hate Pitt.

 

[Chip]

52 points, 24 rebounds, 7 assists from the bench.

 

[samspann1]

Q and Benny get the game balls, or should.

 

[MSOrange]

Huge win with road trips to UNC and Duke in the next 3 games.

 

[Finwad32]

GREAT WIN!!! These are the types of games we couldn’t get, over the past 5/6 years.

Great job team!

- Red made the coaching move of the game by not subbing in the second half.
- 52 points 23 Rebounds from our bench (Brown-Benny-Cope)

What an effort from the Maliq/Q/Benny today. If they play like that our best 5 is obvious.

I do worry about our lack of shooting and overall size - but there’s a lot to be excited about

Red knows what he’s doing

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Strong win. Way to defend the Dome. Gets us even in the ACC. Career game for Quadir. Benny back from the dead. 50+ points from the bench.

The Bell/Taylor combo has sucked for a few games. Need to get that turned around.

This is not only great for this year, but also for recruiting. Come to Cuse and you will get your chance to shine.

More credit needs to be given to Red here.

when Pitt went zone, the team was perfectly coached on how to beat it and got multiple layups out of it.

hope the folks that were loud to start the season about him are just as loud when credit is deserved

Bench 52 Starters 29!

Tremendous awareness by Red. This wasn't a Bell or Taylor game and he saw it

 

[Sbucketball]

Gutsy tough win

Gutsy tough win. Shades of earlier years against Pitt

Im getting worried about Bell and Taylor. Is it simply if they don’t make shots, they can’t play?

 

[malpearl31]

What’s nice (and so different from the last couple of years) is that we are really deep - which gives us a lot of options when some guys just don’t have it on any particular day. Kudos to Q, Benny and Maliq for stepping up today when basically every starter was off their game.

Liked that he went to the bench 2 mins into the second half and not 7

 

[Chip]

Defense was so good in the 2nd half.

I think their minutes need to be staggered.

Would love to find combos where one of Bell/Taylor is productive with one of Copeland/Benny.

Well, in fairness, if any school should know how to attack the zone, it's us. Just review the game film from Pitt over the years.

totally agreed. They should never be on the floor together

 

[JFly10]

Definitely happier with Red after it looked like he had no idea what he was doing early on.

The depth is great to see. I agree we’re eventually going to run into some issues when teams have defenses that are really going to force us to shoot…but we’ve got some nice building blocks for sure.

they were playing a 3-2
