Duke game thread

Is there a more dislikeable fan base?

 

[PittPharm2002]

We are losing because our offense is stagnant
But these calls aren’t helping

 

[docpanther26]

We have managed to absolutely play ourselves out of this.

 

[PittGuy00]

Isolation game by Burton works until you run up against a good defensive team

UVA not good on D?

 

[DruidTM]

Refs completely carried away by atmosphere

We can’t get a rebound to save our lives

 

[pittbb80]

Burton and Blake have been awful this half. That’s the story. That and defensive rebounding. Your stars can’t be invisible

 

[pittbb80]

Wooo hooo. A rebound

 

[Pitt8189]

UVA not good on D?

This definitely isn’t the UVA defense of old who would completely shut down opponents

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

23 offensive rebounds is like a tuneup game against Slippery Rock.

 

[pittbb80]

Gotta Hope this doesn’t snowball. They are going to need a short Memory to get back on track this weekend

 

[Pitt8189]

Ball movement on offense and player movement is never a bad thing

Penn State

They love blowing those whistles and getting a reaction. Helps them compensate for the lack of validation from their fat wives.

Penn State

Penn State fans who root for Duke because PSU sucks… those ones are a real charm

 

[docpanther26]

Scheyer made adjustments at the half, this time Jeff didn’t account for them. Is this not a 21 point swing at this point?

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

The certainly aren't, but they have been better defensively than Duke this year.

This. It's OK to have a bad game. But you can't have it lead to a string of losses like past years.

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

Losing to an NCAAT team on the road is ok but the way we lost makes me sick

- made Filipowski look like Laettner
- 9 points in 1st 13 minutes of 2nd Half
- ten million offensive rebounds

Their fat, psychopathic wives who thrash them within inches of their lives?

 

[Pittisit4me]

We most certainly are not back. Any team with size will kill us. Their length on D and effort in 2nd half just crushed us. Had hopes for this team but we have been exposed by size and athleticism and the refs.

 

[JD1976]

At least those kids actually go to school there. Dorky as they are, at least they are part of the experience. We all know 10 Duke “fans” who root for Penn State football in the fall.

 

[Pitt8189]

You also have to take into account Duke getting additional inspiration playing at home vs the UVA game being played in Pittsburgh

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Heyyyy, a little effort on defense. Where has that been?

 

[Protes]

Still have a shot here despite everything.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Dior Johnson, come on down.

 

[Pitt8189]

Tonight was a game Pitt obviously misses Hugley

Or the athleticism OF the refs

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Damn, we needed Elliot to make that three.

 

[pittbb80]

Well they showed some toughness down the stretch

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

Elliott missed 2 really big 3s. Early in the 2nd Half, he missed a wide open 3 to put us up 13 and I thought it was over.

 

[pittbb80]

I loathe Duke

 

[docpanther26]

I am beyond disbelief they found a way to lose this one. I know we actually have the better team. Good grief!

 

[Protes]

So, as tough of a 2nd half this was, we also should have had a bigger lead at halftime. Duke played a bad 1st half, a bunch of turnovers but unfortunately, we handed a lot of them back.

 

[BballinsiderfromPitt]

cover, but that sucked

The 17 foot step back gameplay isn’t sustainable

 

[pittbb80]

As bad as Pitt played in the second half with some decent officiating they either go into over time or win. Just awful. If I were Capel I would have gotten T’d up and fined for post game comments

Holy cats. They had a better center that fouled out than our center. The officiating was not at all bad. Please stop with this every loss

 

[PittPanther44]

Damn, we needed Elliot to make that three.

Yeah, after all that happened…

If he makes that, we get the ball back after free throws with a chance to win or tie at the buzzer.

 

[Brian Brush Fan]

Burton just turned it over again

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

I am not a big fan of coaches taking technicals.

I would have taken one there.

Capel is soft. Teams are a reflection of their coach.
