Okay, Cam has gone cold. What's the next move?

 

[Pittx9]

Why are the refs whistle happy all of a sudden? I really don't get it. They were letting the teams play and all of a sudden...

They took a major turn for the worse. All of a sudden they have become awful. Some really bad calls the last two possessions.

 

[Pav9870]

Wake up on defense Michael.

 

[UPitt129]

Everything turned for the worse when Young blew the two FTs. I know I keep harping on it, but it is true.

It completely deflated the team and killed our momentum, and gave Syracuse life.

Confidence is a fragile thing. The two missed FTs were deflating enough to alter both team's confidence.

Um no.

 

[PittPoker]

Sigh, Jeter needed to make that easy layup. Now a 5 point game. Get Luther back in.

 

[Pittx9]

Wow. This is absolutely pathetic. This defense is awful again and Jeter flat out sucks today. He and Young seriously can not make anything that's not a dunk.

 

[Piranha]

Jeter missed a 2 and gave up a 3.

 

[UPitt '89]

Dammit, Jeter.

Missed bunny.

 

[Pav9870]

How can you relax on defense with so much time left? Keep moving your feet,

 

[BigZeke]

Jeter missed a 2 and gave up a 3.

Here we go again...need a good possession here

 

[33pitt99]

Need to get Luther back in. Makes a big difference on defense.

 

[PittPoker]

This would be such a crushing loss. From 14 point lead to 5, we are so out of sync.

 

[JD1976]

That sequence where Young missed 2 FTs and then the 3-point play on the other end gave Cuse life.

 

[UPitt '89]

Um no.

Um, yes.

The 14 point lead that should have been is now down to 5.

And it started with those two missed FTs.

When they happened, the Pitt team collectively internally goes "uh oh, not again" and the Syracuse team collectively internally goes "hey, we got a chance."

 

[BigZeke]

Dammit, Jeter.

Missed bunny.

Take a drop step and explode to the rim Jeter! Worst case you get fouled. Then give up an Ole 3 at the other end. Brutal

 

[GrowthHormone]

Because refs are mostly inconsistent and suck.

I actually thought every one of the calls were correct.

 

[33pitt99]

Luther in for Jeter. I like it, just hope it works.

 

[Pittx9]

Are you f**king kidding me?!!!!! Such an obvious foul there!!!!!

 

[33pitt99]

Are you f**king kidding me?!!!!! Such an obvious foul there!!!!!

Jimmy Bs complaining eventually gets to the refs

 

[UPitt '89]

Bullshit by refs. Cam was fouled, not a held ball.

 

[BigZeke]

Are you f**king kidding me?!!!!! Such an obvious foul there!!!!!

Guess grabbing a guys arm is a "Held Ball". Wow

 

[Pav9870]

Please put in Maia for Young, someone who wants rebounds.

 

[PittPoker]

SCREW THESE REFS, NOW IT IS OBVIOUS - THEY ARE CALLING EVERY LITTLE CONTACT ON PITT AND NOTHING NOW ON CUSE. SUCH BS.

 

[Pittx9]

Bullshit by refs. Cam was fouled, not a held ball.

That was huge. Not only was that not even close, but arrow now goes to Syracuse.

 

[anon_d97v9o3a8b6xr]

We need a basket desperately

 

[pittbb80]

This team has stopped competing.............losng loose balls, not attacking the rim...............typical

 

[Pittx9]

Guess grabbing a guys arm is a "Held Ball". Wow

Lol I think they meant "held arm"

 

[anon_d97v9o3a8b6xr]

And there is Cam

 

[UPitt '89]

This team has stopped competing.............losng loose balls, not attacking the rim...............typical

No... just got out of sync the last 5 minutes.

 

[Pav9870]

Too much indifference on defense. Play hard.

 

[Pittx9]

Man Luther never gives up!

 

[UPitt '89]

Cam Johnson didn't play against GT.

That turns out to have been huge.

 

[Pittx9]

Cam Johnson didn't play against GT.

That turns out to have been huge.

I really think we win that game if he does. Our bench was so out of sync.

 

[recruitsreadtheseboards]

GAME SET MATCH ON THAT 3!!!

 

[UPitt129]

This team has stopped competing.............losng loose balls, not attacking the rim...............typical

Great call!!!!!

 

[PittPoker]

WHEW!!! NICE SEQUENCE, CAM, LUTHER, ARTIS GAME OVER!!!!!

 

[anon_d97v9o3a8b6xr]

Wow, these guys finally are starting to hit the big shots.

 

[Pav9870]

OK, we broke 65. Play defense.

 

[33pitt99]

Last TO for SU with four minutes left.

 

[Pittx9]

Boeheim is such a whiny, rat-faced little bitch.
