Hinson's shot might have the least amount of arc I've ever seen. Is it even possible for some of these to go in? The law of physics says no.
 
Huggy's thugs going wild on us now. Embarrassing coach Capel and the Panthers on our home floor.
 
I totally agree with Pierre. He texted me that he would kill to have Huggy as an alum and coach of Pitt. He's a special coach.

Not to throw stones at Capel, I mean you have likely 2/5's of your starting five out with injury, then your top 2 PG's saddled with foul trouble what's a brother gonna do??
 
We are now to west virginia what Duquesne is to us. Pretty much a gimme win. 6 in a row now for Huggy. One has to wonder if we ever beat them again???

There’s nothing that even the most optimistic fan can feel good about this ass kicking . Pitt has no chance without Big John , poor pg play and poor defense.

I‘m not going to throw in the towel this early w/o Big John , but man this was beyond disappointing .

Unless you really have a really special coach why give them such long term deals that cost millions to get out of ?

Much like what HIS brother does…nothing.

I'll venture an answer to your question.... because you're an AD who doesn't want to have to admit that your first significant hire was a complete disaster.

-Burton, Cummings and Elliot have 10 turnovers at halftime. We have 12 turnovers as a team at halftime which may be worse than last year when it was Femi and walkon guards.

-We cant stop dribble penetration

-Sibande has no where near the quickness prior to his injury. He didn't even try to jump on a defensive rebound he should have had. He does not look comfortable and did not play well. He also blew a wide open layup opportunity where he fumbled the ball.

-Santos played great off the bench on both ends. Elliot was respectable. I thought Fede was pretty good. The rest did not perform at all, and I think we are fortunate we are not down more at this point with how WV shot the ball.


-We really need a big half on both ends of the floor from Hinson and Cummings to try and get back in this game and Cummings was getting killed on defense. And if we get back into this game in the first 5 minutes, I would slow the game down and try to muck it up while limiting possession.
Analysis: we still suck. Hugley isn’t 23 points good, not even close.
 
I had some hope heading into the season. I had even more hope at watching them run actual sets in the first game. When things got tough tonight they went ISO ball and didn’t move on offense.

There were multiple times they could have cut the game to single digits and made it a game. Instead of running an offense it was Dribble, dribble shoot.

This team has pieces and talent and I’m not giving up hope at this point lots of ball left to be played. However when the going gets tough they abandon what could work.

No reason to waste anymore words because that was a pathetic effort from the brain trust.
 
Losing sucks, but getting embarrassed on your home court against a rival is unacceptable.

Let's be realistic here, WVU largely beat Pitt's 2nd team today. Basketball quickly becomes a miserable game to watch with incompetent refs.

She jumped the gun extending him way to early when it appeared to be a very good hire .

Boy , do I miss JD !
