You can see the boys believe now. Look out. Hope fouls don't end our chances.

Wilson Frame needs to stop shooting

 

[CAPitt]

I don't like the 14 minute and state is in a bonus already

 

[4upmc]

Big for us having Johnson out the rest of the game. He puts pressure on D with penetration. Beverly can’t put the same pressure on us. Take away his 3 and he can’t hurt us.

 

[pittman71]

These guys are well conditioned

 

[joeydavid]

Pitt needed to put more distance between them and State during this scoring drought by state.

 

[SouthSidePanther]

Does Brown have any comprehension of how to box out?

 

[jfk6668]

Not liking Xavier's 5 turnovers and zero assists.....Should be excited we're in this because him and Trey haven't been great

 

[CAPitt]

The zone is getting us stops but allowing a lot of 2nd chances

 

[JD1976]

we are missing a big chance in this game while NC State is struggling to score. Rebounding was always going to be an issue, but today we are seeing just how big of an issue.

 

[GomerTV]

Let's get some rebounds. XJ ready to go on O.

 

[SouthSidePanther]

Good move to go the press. Capel is playing chess and Keatts is playing checkers.

 

[BPKY]

Not too impressed by NC states coaching

 

[SouthSidePanther]

JWF needs to be told to STOP shooting.

 

[Ronnyp91]

Well so far...hasn’t had much impact. Another missed 3 and a horrendous pass.

Wishful thinking didn’t work lol

 

[Protes]

Frame single-handedly killed our mo' on last 2 possessions.

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

Frame single-handedly killed our mo' on last 2 possessions.

The 3 wasn’t bad
The turnover and bail out on defense was

 

[pittbb80]

Frame single-handedly killed our mo' on last 2 possessions.

Great kid but his inability to hit the three is holding this team back far more than even the lack of bigs.

 

[joeydavid]

I'm more impressed with NCST's makeup artist...

Not too impressed by NC states coaching

 

[Black Panther]

Toney clutch from three today.Big one for sure there!

 

[CAPitt]

Frame issues notwithstanding, I absolutely love this team they just motor on.

 

[NCanton Panther]

Let’s switch Brown for Funderburke and this game isn’t close.

 

[Ronnyp91]

2 wide open threes out of a timeout smh

 

[H2P 2003]

Why is it ALWAYS the other team’s players that do nothing in any other game they light us up?

 

[SouthSidePanther]

I've seen more than enough of JWF. Sucks we have no better options on the bench.

 

[Protes]

Frame just bad decisions...settling for tough shots.

 

[CAPitt]

The last guy I want to see driving the lane in traffic is Frame.

 

[pittbb80]

I keep saying that we need a three point shooter as much as we need bigs. Add a reliable three point shooter to this team this year and they are an NCAA team. Frames inability to hit the three consistently in tight games is killlkng them. He also offers nothing else in terms of dribble penetration. People rag on brown but he’s at least improved. JFW not so much

 

[SouthSidePanther]

Game ovah

 

[pittbb80]

Another JWF Brick. Just so frustrating

 

[pittbb80]

Frame messed up the D on beverlys three as well.

 

[pittman71]

Hell you may as well put Ellison out there instead of Frame

 

[jfk6668]

I'm trying to remember I didn't even expect to be in this game.....If Frame could shoot a little and our rebounding wasn't so bad, we're beating a ranked team on the road....

Now I don't know the value of the ejected guy and the guy who got hurt, but it's still encouraging for the future

 

[Protes]

Bad foul by McGowens.

 

[Fsgolfdr]

I’d trade JWF for Parker Stewart and I’d throw in a bench player .

 

[pittman71]

Capel messed up leaving Frame on the floor for this long. Right now Davis should be in there. A player whose only asset is shooting and he is 0-9 from the floor shouldn't be on the court during crunch time

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Frame messed up the D on beverlys three as well.

That was Johnson's fault, not Frame's.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

They can go back and call a foul well after it occurred?

 

[CAPitt]

Did they punch Lockett in the nutsak?

 

[joeydavid]

This.

Pitt needed to put more distance between them and State during this scoring drought by state.
