Irish game thread

[SteelBowl70]

Louisville beat FSU

Tip-off 2:23

 

[SteelBowl70]

Irish 2 layups

Pitt typical slow start offensively - lots of dribbling and missed 2 threes
2 turnovers

 

[Protes]

Another crappy start. Luckily, ND has been equally sloppy.

 

[DruidTM]

I don’t know at least they are passing a lot more than usual.

 

[SteelBowl70]

Irish 4-4
Pitt 3-7
Irish 4 turnovers Pitt 2
Ish 0-2 and 2 turnovers

 

[SteelBowl70]

of course 2 long threes for ND - the first a true Hail Mary

 

[SteelBowl70]

Irish 8-10

Pitt 9-14

Only 7 missed shots and Irish have 6 rebounds

 

[DruidTM]

of course 2 long threes for ND - the first a true Hail Mary

Can’t say it wasn’t defended well

Just pure luck

 

[SteelBowl70]

Irish 3 more offensive rebounds - ridiculous

 

[Protes]

Stupid-ass pass by Amsal. Then ND gets 12 rebounds on misses.

 

[pittbb80]

This team is just so undisciplined

 

[SteelBowl70]

Pitt never in position to get an offensive board
And there’s another turnover by Ish (3)
Irish with a ton of layups

The number of turnovers is too many so far, and the manner of the turnovers is just unreasonable.

 

[SteelBowl70]

Up 2 with a minute left and dribble away the shot clock

 

[KennyTheKangaroo]

Not a lot of comments in this thread at half. Probably because this game is identical to pretty much every game we have seen for two months

 

[PT Panther Fan]

Up 2 with a minute left and dribble away the shot clock

Again a perfect opportunity for a 2:1 but the end up with a 0:1.

 

[Protes]

Not a well played first half. But hey, we're tied and didn't fall behind by 9 points, so there's that.

Not true. We did not fall behind like we have every other game.

You were expecting something else ? Lowe is one of the most frustrating players in Pitt history. He does have some talent but has a low basketball Iq. He’s not a point guard. They need to take the ball out of his hands and let someone else play the point

Who else would be better?

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

We shot 33% on threes to Notre Dame's 25%.

On the other hand, we shot 77% on twos and Notre Dame shot 73%.

 

[SteelBowl70]

Pitt 8 turnovers and 6 rebounds
Way too sloppy with the ball
Giving up too many easy layups - Irish 18 points in the paint

 

[pittguy81]

8 Turnovers and 6 assists. ZERO offensive Rebounds and only 6 Rebounds total. Zach Austin is invisible. This team is frustrating to watch. Every time they had a chance to stretch the lead or take the lead they turned the ball over. Just a lousy performance so far except for Corhen.

 

[SteelBowl70]

Pitt should have had 2 possessions and multiple shots in the last minute but instead didn’t even get a shot
Amazing coaching

It’s no wonder we have a lousy record in close games

 

[DruidTM]

When Lowe got trapped in the corner we should’ve called a time out … better chance

 

[pittbb80]

Who else would be better?

Irrelevant. What did I say that isn’t true. He’s out of control half the time and bogs down the offense

 

[SteelBowl70]

It seems like Capel doesn’t coach Lowe at all in terms of game strategy

 

[HailToPitt725]

I can’t think of the last time I was satisfied was our first half performance. We should not be tied with this Notre Dame team with our season on the line.

 

[Franb]

You said let someone else play the point - who is that someone else? I'm not saying he played well, just that no one else looks any better today, do they?

 

[SteelBowl70]

GDG just awful defensively

 

[DruidTM]

You said let someone else play the point - who is that someone else? I'm not saying he played well, just that no one else looks any better today, do they?

Yeah can’t really say irrelevant if you don’t have a suitable replacement?

 

[Protes]

Feels like we are playing down to the level of the competition today. And how does our wing not even have a single shot attempt 24 minutes into the game?

 

[Thee Jackie Treehorn]

Yeah can’t really say irrelevant if you don’t have a suitable replacement?

Could we get Bugs Bunny from Space Jam?

 

[Protes]

I've completely lost the game feed on Hulu. 😡

 

[pittbb80]

GDG has to be one of the softest 7 footers to play the game. How the hell do you miss that shot

 

[SteelBowl70]

I have never see worse post defense
And then GDG misses a layup and 2 FTs

 

[DruidTM]

Missed Both free throws… Jesus

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

They are 15-21 from 2. I cant believe this game is close down 2 starters.

 

[SteelBowl70]

Ish lousy game
Austin invisible
Lowe not a positive factor
Cam can only play on one end of the floor
Sad performance

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

And finally, 27 minutes into the game, Zach Austin takes a shot.
