Louisville game thread

[noelr]

Only thing uglier than this game is ravech's rug

 

[pittizit]

Only two guys have scored

 

[TiredRam97]

This is ridiculous.

 

[Scruffy the Panther]

Louisville is getting away with more contact than any team in the last five years.

It's kind of ridiculous.

 

[PittPoker]

DO WE HAVE AN INSIDE GAME??? EVERY SHOT IS A LONG CONTESTED JUMP SHOT.

 

[Pittbaseball11]

I can't tell what's a foul in this game. The last 3 fouls I have incorrectly assumed they were calling it on the other team

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Damon Wilson gets Pitt's first points by someone other than Young or Artis almost 18 minutes into the game.

 

[Pittbaseball11]

That's like the 4th OOB call that I'm pretty sure would have been overturned with a review.

 

[Pav9870]

onuaku just pushed a panther under the offensive boards and no call. Something has to be up with Kersey.

 

[UPitt '89]

On the bright side.... Pitt can't possibly play worse than this.... and we're only down 3.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

So much for the arc under the hoop. The contact with Artis was inside the arc, that can't be a charge.

Oh well. So much for the new rules.... again.

I thought so too, but after rewinding it and watching it again he was outside the arc when Artis hit him and then he landed inside the arc.

 

[Delpanther]

Just stupid inept offense

 

[UPitt '89]

Mike Young might be our leading scorer tonight, but he's playing like crap since the 3rd minute of the game.

 

[pittizit]

Fin ugly

 

[PittPoker]

WOW THESE F'N REFS AREN'T CALLING ANY FOULS. THIS CREW SUCKS BALLS

 

[TiredRam97]

Being down 3 at half is a blessing.

 

[Ski11585]

I forgot the game was on and started watching the (highly entertaining) Cavs-Spurs game. Saw the score at halftime and thought, "welp. Back to the NBA."

 

[33pitt99]

They did NOT get away with this at Clemson. It's ridiculous.

 

[JD1976]

Young is getting whacked pretty good out there but at some point he needs to deal with it. He won't be getting any calls tonight.

 

[UPitt '89]

Well... we shot 24%.... turned it over 10 times.....

and we're down by 3.

Usually, with the numbers Pitt has put up tonight, a team would be down by 15-20.

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

Young is getting whacked pretty good out there but at some point he needs to deal with it. He won't be getting any calls tonight.

Yep, has to play stronger

 

[Protes]

Mike Young might be our leading scorer tonight, but he's playing like crap since the 3rd minute of the game.

He's really forcing it. Incredible we're only down 3. Hey, the bright side is our defensive efficiency got better thanks to that half.

 

[The Sisco Kid]

DO WE HAVE AN INSIDE GAME??? EVERY SHOT IS A LONG CONTESTED JUMP SHOT.

you should be able to get a few open looks, wtf

 

[33pitt99]

Would love to know what Jamie said as he walked past that ref on the way off the court. It's just amazing we are only down by 3 at the half.

 

[Piranha]

I thought we ran a motion offense not a stand around and watch offense. The coaches need to light into the team.

 

[JD1976]

Worst half of the year by a mile on the road at Louisville and only down 3. Very lucky.

 

[Scruffy the Panther]

Young is getting whacked pretty good out there but at some point he needs to deal with it. He won't be getting any calls tonight.

Has been getting himself, and his team, into trouble by not making passes before he gets too deep into the defense.

 

[pittzap]

Yeah, apparently Loiusville is only allowed to foul on offense.

 

[Pittbaseball11]

That half is quite a reminder of why the NCAA is doubling down on the freedom of movement initiative. Both teams just hacking away.

 

[jcpitt]

Well... we shot 24%.... turned it over 10 times.....

Usually, with the numbers Pitt has put up tonight, a team would be down by 15-20.

that half was pathetic, nowhere to go but up

 

[drgags]

Young is playing like a rookie qb. Too slow making decisions, holding the ball, and throwing picks.
If offense runs thru him he has to be decisive. A triple team means guys are free.

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

Win the next 20 minutes by 4.
Only goal right now.

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

That half is quite a reminder of why the NCAA is doubling down on the freedom of movement initiative. Both teams just hacking away.

Or why they should

 

[The Sisco Kid]

Worst half of the year by a mile on the road at Louisville and only down 3. Very lucky.

could get hot and turn this thing around

 

[noelr]

Am i the only one who thinks the refs are just letting to be teams play?

 

[Pittbaseball11]

Or why they should

Yeah I'm half expecting these refs to get some kind of a talking-to at halftime and for both teams to be in the double bonus by the midway point of the 2nd half.

 

[Pittbaseball11]

Am i the only one who thinks the refs are just letting to be teams play?

Definitely not, seems to be the overwhelming view right now. Calling it like last year, not how they've been calling it this year.

 

[PittPoker]

We did have some open 3 looks but missed all of them - Artis has done nothing, Robinson had open looks and missed, Cam Johnson had a horrible shot.

Has Sterling Smith even attempted a 3?

 

[Scruffy the Panther]

I thought we ran a motion offense not a stand around and watch offense. The coaches need to light into the team.

This too.

 

[pittizit]

Only 3 guys scored...that's pathetic
