Postgame Thoughts... Pitt (game 2)

[SU91]

Before I turned on this game, I thought we would lose. In my own personal opinion, that’s all I need to know about the status of this program.

Is there any question that this is the worst team of the Boeheim era?

 

[djcon57]

Yeah, they absolutely trusted their strategy because there were clear signs it would eventually turn... and it did.

The strategy being “shoot wide open 3s and we’ll eventually make them because it’s not 1985 and teams have more than 1 shooter”

ps Don’t talk crap about teams buying players

Pitt’s offense is what we need to replicate to be successful. Our style of basketball is outdated.

 

[DPCuse]

Here’s a ray of hope. Look what Pitt did with the transfer portal. In today’s era, you can hit the portal hard and make a dramatic turnaround. Question is….will Jimmy do it?

lat years team was just as bad. Its a coin flip between the two

Yup too bad we don’t get to play against our crappy zone every game. Wait wait. This is why Benny looks good in practice he plays against our defense.

As long as Jim is here it doesn’t matter what players we buy we will not be good.

Watching UNC holding UVa to 43 and interestingly enough they are playing 2-3 zone

Jimmy?? You’ve got to be kidding me.

Next coach? Absolutely

Nope

 

[Col. Bleep]

Maybe we can lift our spirits with some talk about how it could possibly get worse.

For starters I suggest this: the administration could replace Boeheim with an experienced coach who has a proven record...Kevin Stallings.

What I saw out of Pitt was a team of guys working together on offense, passing the ball to the open man. We could have that same team and JB would anoint his ball dominate guy and ruin all of that chemistry we saw. Our offense has no plan, give the ball to someone and let them do whatever they want.

No, not close according to this psychopath who does NIT bracketology

There's been enough movement to justify a new bracket going into the weekend, so here it is! There are a few teams lurking right below .500 ...

Honest question, are we even on the bubble for the NIT? I have no idea how those teams are even judged, legit.

There is no heart left in this team.
Shut it down.

 

[hoopsupstate]

I thought they came out with good defensive intensity and looked alert on defense. The lack of rebounding killed us all afternoon. That’s the biggest problem with the zone. Teams kill the zone with offensive rebounding. I can’t blame the guys getting frustrated. They made some deep contested shots.

 

[djcon57]

JB suggesting that his portal comments were off the record is a pretty strong allegation against Thamel.

Pitt's backcourt played great - 27 assists and only 5 or 6 turnovers.
They had 12 more possessions than us. We had too many turnovers on offense, and we go stretches of time where we just don't play defense and get lit up by the other team.

 

[Cusefan0307]

I knew we would lose. About what I expected.

I had zero expectations on a win. So glad I canceled my trip there, Clemson ended the season for me.

 

[JDubbin]

This was my Facebook post 10 years ago… I don’t even know what game it was, haha

[HOFCeluck]

It would’ve been pretty cool if we bought a team.

 

[oTTo113445]

Great first half, foul trouble hurts pressing. great shooting by pitt on top of what has been said. Alot of youth. If Jessie has a 5th year we really could use him.

 

[capeorange]

LOL WE SHOT 50 and 56 AND STILL ALMOST LOST BY 20

WELL, IF WE DIDN'T PLAY ZONE, WE WOULD HAVE LOST BY 50!!!!
