GT game thread

[JD1976]

A couple of bail-out threes saved us. Everything looking disjointed. GT cannot keep shooting this well.

When you cause zero turnovers, your on ball defensive pressure is non-existent.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

I mean, we've got to get to the hoop more. We can lose to anybody playing like this.

Bubble watch will be a real thing if they blow this.

 

[Pittisit4me]

Maybe we are witnessing the Capel collapse later this year. If we lose this game, we will not win any of the last 3.

 

[PittPharm2002]

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.

It’s the passes to nobody that more kill me

 

[JD1976]

When you cause zero turnovers, your on ball defensive pressure is non-existent.

25 minutes and no TOs. Unreal. There’s probably a correlation with how few fouls Pitt has committed. It’s worth getting more aggressive to try and force some mistakes.

 

[PittPharm2002]

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.

And what if we don’t
Gonna tantrum??
Settle down , beavis

 

[DruidTM]

Finally

A turnover

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

We keep jacking up threes that aren't all that open.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Get your ass up, Elliot. Cost us 3.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

What is Hinson barking about?

Sloppy sequence on D after the missed foul.

 

[DruidTM]

Unbelievable

We should be up anywhere from 5 to 7 to 10

We are down 4

 

[pittbb80]

That sequence was indicative of this teams problems. Make a layup and whine about the refs and give up a wide open three

 

[PittPharm2002]

Why is Burton sitting and Nelly playing ?!

I think he was yelling at Elliott

 

[JD1976]

Another easy finish not finished by Federiko.

The players back weren’t whining.
And Elliot hustled back
You’re silly

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Oh ok. That makes sense.

 

[upj87]

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

Yes, the un garbage 3-13 team..just stop, you are embarassing yourself..

 

[The Ole Six-Fiver]

When playing poorly, refs will absolutely screw you. Need the mindset that you have to beat the opponent and the zebras. Expect bad calls and work harder to overcome.

 

[BreakingPitt]

GT getting way too many easy buckets. Pitt missing too many open shots.
Sibande invisible and Cummings/Elliot shooting awful.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

He definitely didn’t hustle back. Took a second to complain first. Not saying it directly affected the play though.

[DruidTM]

Agreed

 

[NCLee]

This is atrocious. Just letting this team hang around because they just want to force outside shots. No flow to offense and defense stinks

 

[PittPharm2002]

When he got off the floor he ran

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Fede needs to start making those gimmes tonight.

 

[Pittisit4me]

This team is in trouble. They are off tonight and the defense is awful. I think our good shooting nights have covered up alot of our flaws. We just aren't that much better than anyone when we aren't making threes. If we lose to GT at home we don't deserve to be anywhere near the NCAA tournament.

 

[PittPharm2002]

Fede needs to start making those gimmes tonight.

You guys act like they are uncontested

 

[BreakingPitt]

Fede needs to start making those gimmes tonight.

He is 8 for 8 at the line tho.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

When he got off the floor he ran

He was laying on the ground with his arms in the air complaining about the non-call. It cost us 3 points.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Way. Too. Many. Contested. Threes.

 

[Gep Dawg]

Hinson needs to play better. He’s been MIA for almost two games. We have to shoot well from three and play D and we aren’t doing that. They have just shoot awful from behind the arc and they can’t do that.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Start feeding Burton now.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

He is 8 for 8 at the line tho.

For sure, that’s great.

 

[DruidTM]

Zero intensity

 

[docpanther26]

Sweet move by Sibande.

 

[BreakingPitt]

Wow. A transition bucket.
