I swear to gawd every time I turn on a Pitt game

[DruidTM]

I’m immediately disappointed and disgusted with what I see within the first minute

today isn’t any different

come on Pitt WF is NOT good enough to pull a sweep on this series... Jesus

 

[Tonyt66]

Earlier in the season we were pretty good defensively but we just lost or ability to do it along with her offense

 

[PittInMissouri]

I mean...playing with Brown out there is like 4 on 5 ball. Dude still doesn't know how to box out.

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

Wake on track to score 100. Olivier Sarr looking like Shaq. Drumgoole just looked ridiculous getting beat off the dribble and of course, a free pass to the basket with no help.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

If we don't decide to guard Mucius here at some point this is going to be a long day. We had to switch to a zone because Champagnie looked more like a traffic cone than a defender.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Of course Champagnie isn't guarding any better in the zone than he was in the man.

 

[lilspainishflea]

We look so bad. Just can't play defense. Can't rebound.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Mucius with 17 already and a free throw coming out of the under eight time out.

Giving up 3 pointer after 3 pointer after 3 pointer after 3 pointer after 3 pointer after 3 pointer after 3 pointer after 3 pointer after 3 pointer after 3 pointer after 3 pointer after 3 pointer after 3 pointer after 3 pointer after 3 pointer

its Wake Forest.....

 

[bayardstreet]

Pitt defense is atrocious

 

[Tonyt66]

Both teams are not really good shooting teams but if we cool off first its going to get ruff.

Nobody gives up 3s on the road in the 1st Half like we do

We shot threes better in the first half than they did.

 

[DruidTM]

41-40 half ok very manageable

now Pitt LETS KICK WF ASS!

since I missed my request pregame

H2P

let’s go !!!

 

[gary2]

Mucius with 17 already and a free throw coming out of the under eight time out.

Any thought to playing man and putting Toney our defensive stopper on him?

That would have Justin on C.Brown. Brown not as long or quick, but is strong. Better matchup?

 

[Tonyt66]

The second half comes down to who plays better defense

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Any thought to playing man and putting Toney our defensive stopper on him?

Oddly enough late in the half Wake did a good job of stopping Mucius. He didn't even get a shot after that foul shot coming out of the under eight. How do you let that happen to a guy who was 6-7 from the field and 3-4 from the line? Keep getting him shots until he starts missing!

Anyway, to your question, if we are going to play man we have to do something different. Toney on Mucius at least until he cools off would be a good idea.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

The second half comes down to who plays better defense

We shot 62.1% overall, 44.4% on threes and Wake shot 57.1% overall, 41.7% on threes in the first half. Given the two teams playing I wouldn't be surprised to see those numbers all around 30% or lower in the second half.

Usually when two teams start off hot like this one team Falls drastically off and other one may come down a little bit let's just hope we're not the one that drastically falls off.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

At least Champagnie is making up for his god-awful defense on the other end of the floor.

And right on cue all the ranters in this thread have gone silent.

But of course they’ll be back as soon as Pitt loses.

So predictable.
