GAME THREAD - Pitt vs Syracuse ......

And Artis with another ridiculously stupid pass that nobody with a brain would ever try. Seriously we can never not fall apart once we grab the lead. Very discouraging.
 
GREAT JOB ARTIS, NOT!!! AWFUL PASS WHICH LEADS TO A SYRACUSE 3 LATE. RIDICULOUS.
 
We should easily be up double digits. This game is only close because Pitt let it get close. Need to get the intensity back up to where it was and keep it there all game.
 
How was that not a foul on Cooney? Also, Mike young got very lazy there end of half. I realize those are deep looks by Lydon, but young was late closing out on the first 3, got lost in the hedge on the second.

Still, good half.
 
Solid 1st Half. Robinson has really stepped into a leadership role. Keep it up. Need to finish strong.

Criminal that that wasn't called. Jamie was fuming.
 
I can't blame defense for 25 foot 3's and the Cuse had two of them.

The last one might have been longer than that.

Cuse scored 20 points in he first 9:30 minutes. 8 points in the last 10:30, including that 25+ bomb. That's getting the job done.

Although not a perfect half, I'm happy with the effort so far.

Hardly anyone for the Cuse has scored since Lydon (sp?) came into the game, except HIM, but he has scored 13 himself!
 
Typical Pitt/Cuse game so far. Pitt moving the ball well and hitting the glass. Can't complain about a 2-point game on the road even with the late 6-0 run by Cuse.
 
Our 3 point defense is so bad. Last in the ACC. 42% against for the year. 43% today. Can 1 team shoot 30% from 3 against us? Just 1?

Good first half coming back from that early 10 - 2 deficit. Great job by JRob. This team is well coached on offense and seems to be patient to get good shoot, but they are horribly coached on defense. Almost every point Syracuse scored was off a Pitt mistake on the hedge on the high ball screen. Mike and Sheldon have no clue on when and how to defense the high ball screen. What was Mike doing 30 to 35 feet from the basket at the end of the half leaving his man wide open for a three.
 
We need Jamel and Mike to come up big in the second half. Artis had five points five minutes into the half and then didn't score again. Mike has 4 and 3. We need more from those guys.

I so loved that play by JRob. It was so fundamentally sound. Get inside the top of the 2-3 zone, stop at the foul line, high bank shot. Not sexy, not highlight reel......just old school and effective.

I rarely complain about refs, but our guys have gotten a lot of contact and no foul, not so much the other way.
 
Still hoping that Jones will get hot, but man he does not look good at all so far today.
