Duke game thread

Let’s go Pitt!

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

Good Start

 

[PittPanther44]

Lost a point somewhere

 

[docpanther26]

Bad decision from Cummings there.

 

[BballinsiderfromPitt]

Lost a point somewhere

Sibandie had a foot on the line on his 3 point attempt

 

[docpanther26]

Love what Burton brings!

 

[docpanther26]

Doing a very good job of forcing Duke to turn it over.

 

[BreakingPitt]

Burton is amazing. Improved 2 fold from last season.

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

Where is Hinson?

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Love what Burton brings!

It will be interesting to see if Duke has anyone who can guard him, because so far it sure doesn't look like it.

 

[UPitthoops]

It’s amazing Santos can’t one to go down

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Where is Hinson?

Big Nate has put him on the bench!

 

[BreakingPitt]

Where is Hinson?

He was in the game. Has a foul.

I really don’t think they do. Burton is quite the player, just a grinder.

 

[Pittisit4me]

I don't mind working Santos into the rotation, but, it is time to tell him no threes. His defense is solid and he rebounds fine, he just can't take 3's. Every 3 he takes is a wasted trip.

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

So as I was saying, we are better than Duke

 

[BreakingPitt]

When did Pitt learn to shoot this summer ?
This team is fun to watch.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Pitt has ten baskets. Burton has scored four of them and assisted on four more.

 

[h2p_5150]

Really can't stand this Filipowski guy

 

[docpanther26]

They are only in this at the perimeter. We need to tighten that up quickly.

 

[Pittisit4me]

Duke is sloppy. The only way they can beat us is to bang 3's. We need to close out on their 3's better.

 

[UPitthoops]

2 fouls on Fede is a problem

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Seems like we may have awoken the sleeping giant team that is comparable to a man of slightly above average height.

We've gotten super lazy on offense.

 

[UPitthoops]

Nelly having another off game

Pitt is sloppy, and the only way it can win is to bang 3's.

 

[pittbb80]

Garbage foul on Burton

 

[docpanther26]

Not liking that call…

 

[DruidTM]

Come on PITT win the f@cking basketballing game!!!!!!

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

Too much 1 on 1. Need to play as a team.

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

I would get Burton back in. I hate sitting guys with 2 fouls in the 1st Half. Offensive rebounding killing us. Duke has rebounded 9 of their 17 misses.

 

[DruidTM]

That ball in the cylinder Was BS

 

[Pittisit4me]

Pitt is sloppy, and the only way it can win is to bang 3's.

We have been sloppy since the 26-14 lead. The way the refs are calling this game, we are in trouble. They are getting to many putbacks and their size is troubling as well. I doubt we win this game. Scheyer has worked the refs to a tee.

 

[DruidTM]

You gotta hit fouls shots

 

[DruidTM]

Santos.., Christ

To me, it's usually about who is getting easier buckets. I've seen Duke get layups amd putbacks while we're relying on contested 19-footers since I turned it on. Not sure what happened before that.

Any team can be hot or cold on any given day, but I'm talking from a macro view.

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

We are so much better than this team but their offensive rebounding is keeping them in the game. This isnt Duke. This is an 9/10/11 seed team.

 

[BreakingPitt]

Did they ever credit that 3?
Now they did.
We are up 11, not 10.

Yes

 

[Pittisit4me]

Good last few minutes. Nike really hitting tonight.

 

[docpanther26]

Let’s get this win!
