Florida State game thread

Nellie? Wow. Thought they were outcoached today too. Had a little back to the mean feeling. We’ll see.

Turnovers were the major factor along with players standing around on offense and defense. Too much dribbling and poor ball movement.

The next 2 games are must wins if we have any hope of getting into the NCAAT at all. The bad part of that is I don't see us winning either of the next 2 games against much better teams than FSU. We could win if we have a great night and the opposition has an off night. But dribbling around and standing around while turning the ball over won't get that done.

I still think it is more reasonable to expect and hope for the NIT. The NCAAT may be out of reach for Pitt this year.

I disagree that the NCCA Tourney is out of reach because of one bad loss. This team still has 5 very solid wins at NC State, at Syracuse, Northwestern on a neutral court, and the home wins with Virginia and North Carolina. All of that can’t just be overlooked because of one bad loss. They still have some good opportunities for some quality wins this week with Wake and Miami and then at North Carolina after that. Pitt’s NET even after this loss to FSU is still at 65 which isn’t terrible. This team needs too and should make the NCCA Tournament with their remaining schedule or it will be a major disappointment as far as I’m concerned.

If we have any hopes of making the NCAAT, we have to win at least one of the next 2 games and then win at least 8 more, including the ACCT. I suppose it's possible, but I'm just going on what I've seen of this team this year. We are capable of beating anyone but also capable of losing to anyone. See FSU. We'll see. That's where we are now.
