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

[Pittx9]

We are the #1 FT team in the ACC. He should have made at least one though.

That's what is alarming. We have been so good all season, yet the past few games not so much.

I really wish someone would punch lydon in his mouth

 

[UPitt '89]

Again.. two missed FT'S cause a momentum swing that is worth way more than just the two lost points.

Mike can't miss those. Just cant.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Is it a requirement to be a huge dooshbag to play for Syracuse?

He's got that weasel G-Mac over on the bench coaching him up.

 

[whirlybird optio]

Starting to buy the "Michael Young quit" threads at this point. He is lost on offense and misses two big FTs. He's collecting rebounds so it seems like he is still somehow engaged but geezus.

He's been horrible on defense

Yes. Yes it is.

 

[Piranha]

Les Jones, is from Virginia, but his Mom lives in Pleasant Hills, PA.

I do not believe Les Jones is the ref that hates JD.

 

[jd99]

He's been horrible on defense

True. The rebounds had me grasping for something.

Yeah, that was a little deflating.

 

[Pav9870]

For what it's worth, Pomeroy has us 6th, also Pitt allows another player to get a career high against us.

 

[Pittx9]

The one who started the trend. Did a great job getting not just Lydon but also Cooney. I can't believe Cooney actually goes out in public looking like he does.

 

[UPitt '89]

Artis has 5 unforced, stupid, ridiculous turnovers.

 

[JD1976]

And Artis another street ball pass.

 

[Pittx9]

Very nice. Now hit this damn free throw.

 

[Mercer50]

Would Mike Young please guard someone?

 

[KiwiJeff]

And Artis another street ball pass.

Preparing for a career with "And 1".

 

[DT_PITT]

I do not believe Les Jones is the ref that hates JD.

That's Bryan Kersey.

 

[iMissTheOldDays]

WTF IS JETER DOING ON DEFENSE MAN

 

[whirlybird optio]

Fitting that Sheldon would get hurt once again looking absolutely clueless on defense. Glad he's ok, but he is the most frustrating player on D I've ever seen here

 

[Pittx9]

Good to see Artis finally stepping it up. He really shows up against Syracuse.

 

[Pav9870]

At this point, I'd rather Artis shoot than pass.

 

[Pittx9]

Wow Young is just awful. He can not even catch a simple pass anymore.

 

[Piranha]

WTF Young - Why are u so soft with the ball?

 

[33pitt99]

It's tough to throw it inside to Mike because he just doesn't have very good hands.

 

[Pittx9]

Very close to a 3 point play. Jones HAS TO hit these both!

 

[Pav9870]

Now make more than 1 of 2 here Chris.

 

[Pittx9]

Luther!!!!! 52-45 Panthers!!

 

[Piranha]

Keep it up - finish strong.

 

[KiwiJeff]

Lethal Luther.

 

[iMissTheOldDays]

Please please please finish strong !!!!

 

[33pitt99]

Been waiting for that shot by Luther for a while. It's been open, but they either haven't passed it to him or SU has closed just a little too fast.

 

[JD1976]

Luther is money on that baseline J!

 

[33pitt99]

Guess James is playing 40 minutes today. Wow.

 

[Pav9870]

That was not good offense by Pitt.

 

[Pittx9]

Big miss on the 1st free throw. We need a bucket now.

 

[33pitt99]

I'd love to know what Artis sees (or thinks he sees) before he makes some of these passes....

 

[KiwiJeff]

Guess James is playing 40 minutes today. Wow.

Honestly, when you consider both sides of the court, he is our best player.

 

[33pitt99]

Honestly, when you consider both sides of the court, he is our best player.

No doubt about it.

 

[Pittx9]

Honestly, when you consider both sides of the court, he is our best player.

At the very least he is our most important and most definitely the leader.

 

[iMissTheOldDays]

I hate Syracuse with all my heart
