Pathetic. Last 6 minutes almost without a FG. Young killed us, Artis turned into crap again later on. Sigh...
 
In some ways it felt like we played better in that half than in the Syracuse game, yet we're losing; primarily because of stupid turnovers. The blown call on Jones and Young's missed FT's were killers, too.
 
7-0 Louisville run to end the 1st half ..... 33-29 Louisville at the half ..... WE CAN BEAT THESE GUYS !
 
Offense broke down last 3 minutes. Have to hit open shots. Too many bad turnovers also. Add to that nearly all of Louisville's points have been scored within 2 feet of the basket- interior D has to be better.
 
Those 2 are absolutely maddening. Not a wisp of leadership between them. Very talented but very soft. Sorry being a bee-yatcher. But this is game after game.

We need to give Artis and Young brain transplants at halftime.

So freaking stupid.
 
Pitt played a good first half but, unfortunately they lost 4 easy points when Jamel missed an easy lay-up and then he lost the ball after a rebound and gave Louisville a lay-up. Also, there was some questionable line-ups and careless play by Pitt in the last 5 minutes of the half.
 
They shot 50% we shoot 36%
our halftime adjustment should be made by the maintenance staff at the Pete. We need them to triple the rim circumference at both ends so we can make a few shots! Playing fairly well except for the part where you have to put the ball through the hoop!
 
The good news is that we're likely to score more than 41 this time.

I think.
 
Key Halftime stats:

Pitt with 3 assists and 9 turnovers. 2 each by Artis and Young.

Pitt outrebounding UL 18-14.

80% FT shooter Mike Young: 0-for-3

Louisville with 28 points in the paint. Shooting 14-for-22 inside the arc.
 
Really, he is a great poster, but goes full dingbat on that one topic. He never tires of it.
Because too many people minimize its importance.

And it is killing us today. If you're gameplan is to attack the rim, you HAVE to make the FTs... or it is no better than a turnover.

Chris Jones attacking the rim. That's a good gameplan.

But worthless if we dont make the FTs.
 
I'm so frustrated with Mike Young's play today.

He should be on his way to a double-double, but he just hurts us at both ends possession after possession.

WTF IS YOUNG DOING? BAD SHOTS, 3'S??? IS HE TRYING TO LOSE THE GAME FOR US SINGLEHANDEDLY???
 
It's about time for JRob to hit a big three-pointer.

Calling it.
 
Young needs to learn some humility and how to become an asset to others and not just a guy looking to get his points. Very frustrating to watch.
