[Pav9870]

Wow, what a start!

 

[goalieman]

[PittMed]

tipoff coming up !

Wow

 

[bwh05]

So uh, cant we just play like this all the time!!!! Haha​

 

[hailtopitt25]

I know we cannot play defense like the old teams but this is by far the most fun team I have seen since I started watching. Putting the ball in the hoop is so easy for us.

 

[Pav9870]

Other than 18(?)-0 with the Cuse, can't remember a start like this.

 

[Panthervision]

Other than 18(?)-0 with the Cuse, can't remember a start like this.

I remember a 30-5 start against Louisville in the Big East tournament

 

[UPitt '89]

Other than 18(?)-0 with the Cuse, can't remember a start like this.

I remember a 30-5 start against Louisville at the BE tournament one year.... and we struggled to hold on to the win that day.

 

[Pav9870]

I was trying not to think of that.

 

[93Panther]

This team is fun!

 

[TiredRam97]

Great start offensively!

Here comes "insert random player" going batsh!t from 3 against us.

 

[goalieman]

Both teams on fire ...... Pitt up 33-22, 8:41 to play 1st half !!

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

I would like to not have a guy go nuts from 3.

Defense isn't even bad

 

[TiredRam97]

For as great of an offensive team Pitt is, it's absolutely horrid on defense. Talk about getting both ends of the spectrum.

 

[Chaos]

Is this available online besides espn? It's blacked out for me. Thanks.

 

[goalieman]

Pitt goes zone.

 

[Scruffy the Panther]

Holy cow ANO, what was that?

 

[Pav9870]

I remember someone saying ND's defense rank was lower than Pitt's. This game could get really crazy.

 

[TiredRam97]

How do you call that foul on ANO from half court?

 

[goalieman]

Lead down to 8 .... ND chipping away.

 

[Protes]

Whoever gets to 100 first will win.

 

[TiredRam97]

Going into the half up only single digits would be a tad disappointing.

 

[Pav9870]

Need to play a little defense here.

 

[TiredRam97]

Why the hell was Young in the game?

 

[TiredRam97]

ND with all the momentum. Play some damn defense!

 

[PITT92DOG]

How didn't Dixon get Young out of there?

 

[Pav9870]

From 28-10, ND has outscored us 33-19. Need some defense from someone.

 

[TiredRam97]

Dixon might have cost this team the game by leaving Young out there to get his third foul.

 

[UPitt129]

These refs are totally letting ND back in this. We are getting called for ticky tack garbage, and meanwhile we are getting killed and no calls.

 

[UPitt '89]

Our defense wasn't as bad as the Irish's scoring would indicate.

The big concern is Young with 3 fouls at the half.

 

[Pittx9]

Absolutely ridiculous how much the refs are cheating us. Not even close to being competent.

 

[goalieman]

Dixon might have cost this team the game by leaving Young out there to get his third foul.

Agree, that could be a huge mistake !

 

[UPitt129]

Let's be honest here too..pitt didn't play awful defense...Jackson was hitting really tough threes.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

These refs are totally letting ND back in this. We are getting called for ticky tack garbage, and meanwhile we are getting killed and no calls.

Oh stop it. You're being ridiculous.

 

[goalieman]

49-43 Pitt at the half.

 

[Scruffy the Panther]

I would like to not have a guy go nuts from 3.

Defense isn't even bad

Yeah, we aren't leaving shooters wide open by any means.

 

[UPitt '89]

I was surprised that Young was still there. He got his second foul with 1:07 left. It would've been alright to have him sit the final 1:07.

The good news is that Jeter is one helluva replacement and played good down the stretch.

 

[Pittx9]

Let's be honest here too..pitt didn't play awful defense...Jackson was hitting really tough threes.

Personally I think that is the most annoying thing on Earth to see. Guys chucking up shots they should be getting benched for taking, and making those shots. Don't care how you look at it, that is not good basketball.
