[Black Panther]

Off to a good start.

Idk how the Miami vs VT will end but VT looks like a team to avoid in the Acc tournament

 

[Black Panther]

20-16 Pitt.Need to hit some of these threes

 

[Pittnerski]

Woof… need some urgency!

 

[Black Panther]

27-27. They are letting them hang around.Not good.

 

[pittbb80]

I have a bad feeling about this game Team still seems like it’s hung over from the VT game. Just don’t see the intensity. GT playing over their heads. Feels like the Pitt GT football game.

Hope I’m wrong

 

[DruidTM]

GT no turnovers
PITT 10

That’s the problem

 

[pittbb80]

Wow Nellie playing dumb dumb basketball. They just are not focused

 

[The Ole Six-Fiver]

GT no turnovers
PITT 10

That’s the problem

Cuz we play defense like the Penguins. Reluctantly if ever

 

[pittbb80]

GT no turnovers
PITT 10

That’s the problem

Most unforced. Lack of focus

 

[pittbb80]

This would be a devastating loss

 

[DruidTM]

Yep halftime adjustments

Get focused… start forcing some turnovers… build a lead

The fact we are up with that turnover differential says a lot

 

[pittbb80]

Dumb dumb dumb fool by Fede

 

[Pittisit4me]

If this last game and a half is what we have become, we may have already seen our last win. Amazing that we suddenly can't stop anyone.

 

[The Ole Six-Fiver]

This would be a devastating loss

Sh1t, with this NET garbage it’s devastating to merely just win, we’re supposed to blow them out, probably just to keep status quo

 

[PittPharm2002]

Nelly’s 3 turnovers are why this game is close
Along with him and Elliot being Terrible on defense

 

[pittbb80]

They are in a complete fog. Just awful on both ends of the floor. Capel needs to light a fire under them at half

 

[Pittisit4me]

Try a zone or something, we are f-ing clueless.

 

[PittPharm2002]

Cuz we play defense like the Penguins. Reluctantly if ever

That’s not true
At all ya mope
Elliot and Nelly are liabilities
Hinson is hot and cold

 

[DruidTM]

That last play isn’t because Diaz Graham doesn’t lift enough weights

It’s because he took took long to put that ball up

Granted the weight thing is discussed ad nausem … but that’s a speed thing on that play anyway

 

[pittbb80]

Appropriate finish for the half. Can’t make a bunny. Letting this garbage team hang around

Again if they lose this one it would be devastating. Not only because of the hit to the seeding but it would potential lead to a total collapse down the stretch.

Hate to be overly dramatic but the second half could be the season for the panthers

 

[PittPharm2002]

That last play isn’t because Fiaz Graham doesn’t lift enough weights

It’s because he took took long to put that ball up

Granted the weight thing is discussed ad nausem … but that’s a speed thing on that play anyway

Well it was an unexpected pass to be fair
Since clock was almost out

 

[JD1976]

He has had an issue with these types of forced TOs throughout the season. Mostly on longer cross-court passes or forces into the paint. You take the bad with the good but that needs to get cleaned up immediately.

 

[Cap pitt]

Horrible defense

At least 8 points left out there because Fede and Diaz-Graham weren’t strong enough at the rim.

It’s not a garbage team
They beat VT
We didn’t
Context matters
We’ve won a bunch of close games- they lost close ones
We aren’t substantially better

It’s a game they should win period at home.

One of their leading scorers has four fouls and they are missing another key player. Coming off a loss to VT this is an abysmal performance and could lead to a total collapse if they don’t pull it out.

 

[Fsgolfdr]

Pitts just not strong enough inside . They’ve blown 4 or 5 easy baskets around the hoop . It’s just not the twins , Fede can become one heck of a player if he improves his offense around the hoop .

Outside of Hinson 1-7 from 3 wont get it done .

 

[DruidTM]

Definitely it was

Kinda reminded me of Aaron Gray speed wise

 

[NCLee]

Disappointing tonight with defensive effort, aggressive, and rebounding. GT has 9 fouls against and we are content with fumbling around. This team is better when we don’t get attention. In other words….well I’ll wait for that comment

 

[UPitthoops]

Need to crank up the intensity.

 

[BreakingPitt]

Dude is not ready for this level.

 

[Black Panther]

One of their players already has four fouls and we could take advantage of that either,

 

[NCLee]

Oh and I forget we are hedging with bigs and going way out only to get blown by! Switch to some zone

 

[pittizit]

Elliott and Sibande need to get involved…2 points between them

 

[BreakingPitt]

Oh and I forget we are hedging with bigs and going way out only to get blown by! Switch to some zone

Agree. Please explain why they do that anyways. It does nothing.

 

[pittbb80]

I guess the bright side is they are up. 1 and can’t play much worse

 

[SteelBowl70]

Forcing the ball inside when it isn’t there. Costly TOs gave Tech 11 points. Kelly and Franklin already at their game averages with combined 20 points. No transition game as they forced zero turnovers.

 

[Cap pitt]

very sloppy both ends of the court

 

[DruidTM]

Not looking clean at all here… WTF…
