Rebounding...is where the "tough" play gives Pitt its name

[SouthCampusHero]

They have as many offensive rebounds as we do total rebounds at the half. Terrible. Time to play their game on the boards and stick it to them. This is such a weakness of ours and Pitt is exploiting it and staying in the game. Ugh

The ability to grab and throw players without having to worry about a foul being called helps them as well.

By "tough" you mean complete inability to play anything resembling basketball, right?

Yes. And with that said, why dont we smack them in the mouth and play like they do? Why do we continually play the same game against a team that stretches the rules? Seems dumb to me. If the refs dont call their fouls, lets play like they do. Let the game get totally out of hand...make the game seem like it actually isnt a bball game...and make the refs use their whistles to take back the control of the game.

The Pitt motto is...if you take an inch and get away with it...take a yard and wait for a call. If no call, then take two yards. I mean...Pitt plays against the refs...NOT THE OPPOSING TEAM...and this is why they always flame out in the ncaa tournament.

Pitt plays bullstuff basketball. I am glad we dont play like them. Results be damned.

Results are still in our favor overall by actually playing basketball and not WWF.
