Brian Brush's Paint Stirring

Pregame Observations.

1) If the stinky hippie who was sitting in my seat is on this board, you stink like patchouli. I'm in the nose bleeds, but I got this 200 seat on the aisle because I urinate often. Don't sit in my seat again.

2). Miami is warming up on both ends of the court. Very poor sportsmanship.

3). I'm wearing a special lycra pant and have gone publicly Canadian for the first time in my life. It feels good. Shout out the bulge (or lack there of).

4) Hello to Carl Krauser who is at the game this afternoon. Someone of his stature should have season tickets for life.

5). I don't understand wearing a warmup tank top in pregame. I'm looking at you Miami. Waste of laundromatic resources.

6) QR codes on the jumbotron. Do those actually work?

7) Goldmember uniforms today. I like them.

8). Wifi not working

9) Here comes the high stepper ref is here and will be officiating

10) Cold Hearted Snake by the Pep Band.

***OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: PITT-MIAMI***

I'm here at the Petersen Events Center for today's Pitt-Miami game. We'll use this thread to discuss the game as it happens.

To start, here are a few things to get ready for the game:

STOP THE FLOPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I almost had a stroke on that last flop by Dickinson. I would seriously pay money to the NCAA to get the block rule out of basketball. Well, keep the rule but if you fall, the foul is on you. They are tricking the refs by falling. And if they fall, 9 times out of 10 a block is called. That isnt good basketball. Nobody wants to see that. People complain about soccer. This is worse than soccer guys. I honestly mean that. The flopping I cant take anymore and I WATCH SOCCER

Federiko

I don’t like starting a million posts after a game but where would we be without him?

All he does is rebound, defend, alter shots, great in PnR situations on both ends, sprints his ass off as a rim runner.

I know people will say we need more of an inside presence but my gosh has he played his role perfectly. Without him, we wouldn’t be anywhere near where we are now.

A very underrated high quality win for Pitt

At Northwestern. In a rout for the Panthers. Northwestern is currently 14-5 (5-3). They are presently alone in third place in the B1G.

Right now they are leading Minnesota 45–28 at the half. If they hold on and win this one they’ll tie Rutgers for 2nd place in the B1G with a 6-3 Conference record. Amazing to think that Pitt beat a team so convincingly on their home court that could be 15-5 overall after today and sitting that high in the B1G standings.

So happy right now

A week or two ago I penciled this in as a loss. Because I'm a shitty yinzer with a yinzer dad who had a yinzer dad.

However before the game leading into this week, I was more and more confident as I feel like Miami is a good match up for us.

For most of the game my Yinzer dad and I thought this was over. No one had it today. Our offense was stumped.

But today is where the experience and heart took over. They willed this win. By the end, we wanted it more.
Kudos....
We are going back to the tourney
We are a good basketball team
This is all I was asking for

The Turnaround

BK was the key piece in the turnaround our program before. To me Hinson is that guy for this era. I love Burton but Hinson is single handedly winning a crucial games for us on his own. And his intensity rubs off on this team. I love that dude. Great player. I am starting to get that little feeling I had back before when we started our run with Howland.
