How can anyone complain and talk smack about this team? The game thread was insufferable as usual.

I know we can also say that we could have lost a couple that we won, but this team is a Clemson coin flip game and FSU strong shooting performance away from sitting in sole possession of 1st place after ten games. There is the thinnest of fine lines between where we sit right now in 3rd place and the top of the league.

- had that feeling again and I love it. Feels like the old days. The FSU loss made me almost physically sick and this one gave me that old euphoric feeling. Definitely the best "feeling" I've had after a win since Syracuse in DC in 2016 because I truly felt we wouldn't make the NCAAT with a loss. Survive & Advance

- What this win does is gives us the opportunity on Saturday to really give us a bit of breathing room if we can beat Miami. I dont think we beat Miami but we can. Its not impossible. Win that, figure an L at UNC and W vs Lou, we would be 9-4. 13-7 may do it. So would need 4 more. At FSU, BC, GT, Syr could well do it. UNC probably finishes Tier 1. Miami currently 37, could finish in the Top 30 and that would be a T1 win if we get it

- Speaking of Tiers, its utterly ridiculous that Wake, being ranked worse than 60, will be a Q3 win in the morning as Wake will probably fall below 75. So, lets say you beat #75 Wake on the road. That's Q1. Beat the #76 team at home, that's Q3.

- Pitt isnt going to have to worry about any of that though if they dont start defending. The D has been as bad as I've seen these last 2 games. When Wake didnt score, I found myself wondering "how." Luckily, Wake was just as bad defensively, probably worse until they went to the 1-3-1 which allowed them to come back but Pitt made just enough 3s out of it to win. But something needs to change on D. These teams are getting warm-up jumpers and layups. For a stretch in the early 2nd Half, it felt like they were running layup lines while we went a little cold from 3 (Nelly!!!!!)

- Nelly's struggling a bit right now. I think he needs to stop settling for 3s and try to do what he did at Colgate and get into the lane and try to create for someone or take that 17 footer.

- The 3's, man. Loved seeing it. But that's not sustainable. You win any way you can and we were getting open looks. But this team has to start finding ways to get easier shots because we aren't going to shoot 18-37 very often. I thought Wake's size limited Burton's drive/mid-range game.

- Forbes does a really good job in the portal. This is 2 new teams in 2 years. Unfortunately for him, they are probably going to come up a little short but their guys can play....offense anyway. The Carr dude looked familiar as heck. Then I remembered I watched him in the NCAAT at PPG at Delaware and I thought how the heck is a 6'11 perimeter dude at Delaware. I think I posted we should recruit him, thinking he'd transfer.

- Felt bad for Kenny. He had to take 100 selfies. The money and fame is great but that has to be annoying.

- Halfway through the ACC schedule. We would be the 3 seed and have a double bye. Crazy. Perhaps even crazier is that's not good enough to have us safely in the tournament. Darn B12, B10, SEC and their excellent coaching hires. But this is still really fun right now...as long as we can keep surviving.

After every home game, I am going to compile some ideas, thoughts, ideations to improve the in-game experience.

1) The Pete's wifi doesn't work and needs fixed. I do give event staff credit for not running the "free wifi" promo last night, but it's 2023. Unless I am staying at a Red Roof Inn, wifi should be functional.

2) After Pitt goes on a run and forces the other team to call timeout, would it be possible to play one song, instead of dj-mixing between 3 and 8?

Mia doubles them up at half 52-26 at FSU. Green 1-7, 0-6 from 3. Big difference from Pitt game.

Recruiting update with Shavers on Rivals:

So, at the beginning of the year, in order to win a apartment rental for a year, the contestant had to make a no-look, behind your head, half court shot. Obviously, that was stupid, so they changed the rules. Now, you have to make two, yes two, half court shots in a row to win the apartment rental.

Listen, in the history of contesting, this is the absolute dumbest thing I have ever seen. If I make two half court shots out of two half court shots, forget renting. I'm either going to own the unit or I'll take a $100,000 cash prize. But, no, not at Pitt.

So the question is this....would you take the odds of a student hitting two half court shots out of two half court shots or Capel actually making the tournament. I'm probably going to go with the former.

How does someone get this as a last name?

Pitt's 18 made threes tops the all time Pitt record of 17, against Lafayette in January of 2008. Oddly enough, before tonight there was a three way tie for second at 15, and one of them was at Wake last year and one of them was at Wake the year before. We must like making threes against them.

And Blake Hinson's 8 made threes ties the Pitt individual record. He now co-holds the record with Jared Wilson-Frame, Andre Alridge and Jason Maile.

Good evening, Pitt is getting set to host Wake Forest in a key ACC matchup tonight.

Follow along here for update, and so much more.

Also the annual 'Gold Rush' game. Fans encouraged to wear gold!

Take this with the smallest, and I mean tiniest, grain of salt when considering the source.
Login to view embedded media Interesting food for thought.

gets us in? That puts us at 20 wins and 13-7 in ACC. add in one win in ACC tournament. that absolutely gets us into the tournement, right?

The ridiculousness of it is being picked up by national media.

On our guard?

TB #19. that seems about right. i don't think anyone would argue that diontae johnson was the #5 receiver in 2022.
