ACCT Game Thread: Pitt vs. Duke
- Thread starter Protes
- Start date
Same thing with this Pitt team so far. Total lack of defense and can't rebound the ball. Right now, they're disorganized, confused and out of position. Almost 5 minutes until we get our first field goal.
You're not missing anything.
If I'm Duke I leave Filipowski on the bench. No reason to risk it with the way this game is going.
Yeah, I checked in on this one briefly, but I never really had plans to watch it all that intently. Only question is what it does to our seeding if we lose by 139 points.
Can't afford to be missing 2 at the free throw line. Can't afford to have shot clock violations either. We're looking badly outmatched right now.
We're like the gritty boxer off the street who everyone says could beat Mike Tyson. And then we fight someone like five rungs below Tyson who is actually professionally trained and knows what he is doing, and our head is rolling on the floor 45 second after the bell rings.
The worthless high hedge doesn’t work against good guards
Need to adapt
Fede can’t guards filiposwki at all on the perimeter
Too much one on one
Our store brand Duke style is getting exposed against the real talent

Yulp. Not gonna out-freestyle the OG's.
Kind of feels like how we bullied our way to the ACC Championship in 2018 before facing a d-line that wasn't pussyfooting around with any-uh-dat BS.
Nike playing like dribbling a basketball is a new thing - chance to cut it to 6 and now it’s 12 again
Duke is home... they have the initial momentum, we should regain some control here I hope
Filipowski “toughness” is giving another player your shoulder after the play? Lol. Typical Duke punk bitch.
Capel is right. We need better players. The talent discrepancy between Pitt and Duke is glaring. We have played well as a team throughout the year. But when you have to face a hugely talented team like Duke, the lack of talent gets exposed. It's disappointing for now. Let's see if Pitt can find some fight in them and get this back to a single digit deficit.
Come on panthers, just don’t get muderized so bad, we might not get in if this is a slaughter, and there are some upsets in other tourneys.
Can we play ourselves out of the NCAA tourney today? It is like an NBA team playing against a grade school team.
