Late Pitt vs. Wake Game Thread

[UPitthoops]

Hinson is a 3 and no D guy.

 

[Pittisit4me]

Happy we are winning but poor defense and nothing but 3 pointers is hardly the recipe for a strong finish.

 

[DruidTM]

I hate that Syracuse commercial.

I liked it at first… but it’s getting played too much

 

[Protes]

Fede really needs to man up on the boards. Killer missed RB there.

I just can't stand people chewing. Lol

 

[DruidTM]

That Applebees guy should’ve gotten a T there WTF? Stomping and holding the ball?

 

[DruidTM]

Some bullshit calls here

 

[DruidTM]

Feel like this game should have been over by now

 

[Protes]

God, Hinson, put a body on the guy!!!

 

[JD1976]

God, Hinson, put a body on the guy!!!

He’s not much into defense.

 

[DruidTM]

Shot. Clock.Violation

You’re kidding me

 

[DruidTM]

No really shot clock???!!!

How???

 

[UPitthoops]

Unreal.

 

[kma0043]

Well we all know what’s about to happen.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

I'm really starting to dislike this team.

 

[BreakingPitt]

Unreal.

Not really.

Inexcusable. What a boneheaded play by Hinson. Our guys are trigger happy from 3 all day and when we HAVE TO shoot it, he inexplicably passes it!

 

[Millerton24]

I said soon as Cummings came in. Smh. How does that happen?

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Well we all know what’s about to happen.

I would give them a free layup just to avoid it, lol.

 

[Duneaux Harm]

Is this as dumb as it can get?

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Hinson is the laziest player I've ever seen.

 

[DruidTM]

Well WF tried to get it all and lost with the 3

 

[kma0043]

Pleasantly shocked

 

[Duneaux Harm]

Sorry I guess Wake Forest was dumber. That finish set back college basketball by a decade.

 

[BreakingPitt]

They won but this team is trending the wrong way.

 

[Pittisit4me]

18 threes and won by 2. Wow.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

I mean, that was more or less a wide open look. If it was us, someone would have been throwing it up backwards over two smothering defenders. Nike turned around to watch it.

 

[pittbb80]

Wow. What a game

 

[Protes]

We were lucky as hell to hang on to this one. I don't think I've ever been as frustrated after a Pitt win ever.

 

[Dointhatrag]

A win is a win. Q2 win

 

[kma0043]

18 threes and won by 2. Wow.

That’s what I was thinking. Doesn’t make sense.

 

[USAF Phantom]

2 point spread—we are there

 

[Chescat]

WF foul shooting at the
end was as bad as
Cummings at the end..

 

[DruidTM]

Happy with the win but it should have been by at least 10…. Instead we win because WF does a boneheaded 3….

 

[Fsgolfdr]

Pitts lack of an inside game makes it tough on them , but a W is a W !

It’s hard to believe a team composed of so many older players were so unaware of the shot clock . That’s on them not the coaches !

 

[Pittisit4me]

That’s what I was thinking. Doesn’t make sense.

The explanation is our defense was non-existent.

The two bigs are skinny
and weak. ACC bigs can
easily back them down.
They're just not strong
enough to hold their
defensive position down
low.

Had they lost this game being up by 15 points at home it would have been a complete disaster and it would have really hurt their tournament chances. A win is a win though and it’s a big one and it somewhat cancels out the Florida State loss at home on Saturday. Another huge game on Saturday against Miami. Gonna have to play much better then they did tonight in the 2nd half if they wanna beat the Canes. Playing like they did in the 2nd half tonight against Miami isn’t gonna get it done. Need to play a complete game if you wanna have a shot to beat Miami here on Saturday.

 

[Pittisit4me]

We were lucky as hell to hang on to this one. I don't think I've ever been as frustrated after a Pitt win ever.

I feel the same. Like I said, if 3 point shooting and the matador defense are our recipe for the stretch run, don't expect an at large bid on selection Sunday. If we defend the way we did tonight, we will finish at 10-10. It was completely unacceptable.

 

[Chescat]

We got lucky on the
WF rebound on the
missed WF free throw.
Hinson did NOT block
out....on a FT no less!
