Miami AT Pitt game thread

[Scruffy the Panther]

They've scored every possession so far this half.

 

[Team_Pitt_Fan]

JROB stinks

 

[Protes]

"Pittsburgh answers with 6 unanswered"

 

[goalieman]

3 fouls on Wright ......

who is having a nice game tonight.

 

[goalieman]

47-47, 11:22 to play*

Our defense hasn't been great by any stretch but Miami has made sough tough shots

 

[pittizit]

Shooting lights out in second half...expect anything else?

 

[Chairman Moe]

Another nail biter

Don't think either team has been up by more than 6

 

[goalieman]

we need to take control of this game now !

 

[goalieman]

We just have no defensive intensity*

[Taft's Baby Hook]

Why is Newkirk in there...

 

[pittizit]

Who knows..this team can't put anyone away

 

[Protes]

What a terrible shot he took before. Total liability right now.

 

[twelvetosix]

Can we please box out

 

[Scruffy the Panther]

Does ANYONE know how to box out?

 

[goalieman]

Getting killed on the boards now*

[MartyInLawrenceville]

They're getting embarrassed on the defensive glass.

 

[Chairman Moe]

Re: We just have no defensive intensity*

No answer for Jakiri

 

[pittizit]

Re: Getting killed on the boards now*

No defense...none

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

Miami best offense is a missed shot.

This team is so bad at fundamentals on defense it's comical.

 

[martingale]

It's getting to the point where we are playing 4 on 5 on the offensive side of the ball. James Robinson is not a threat and Newkirk is even worse. Wright is our best guard right now as sad as that sounds...

I just don't see talent on this team once you get beyond Young and Artis..

 

[goalieman]

We look worn out .... no defensive intensity, no rebounding*

[pittman71]

Miami is quicker with better athletes, Pitt has to play physical to counteract that but they are just getting overwhelmed on the inside on defense

 

[cruzer]

One more thing


Do we know how to box anyone out? My god, we've given their bigs a free run to the rim so many times I've lost count.

Cruzer

 

[twelvetosix]

And to make matters worse... 4 on cam

 

[SteelManiac55]

We've become an offensive disaster again.

These refs suck.

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

Why is this team allergic to driving to the rim??

Cruzer

Boxing out is part of defensive intensity to me.

 

[SteelManiac55]

What a weak call on Jones. Looked vertical.

 

[Protes]

This one is slipping away. Mike and Jamel can't do it all alone. Man, do we need guards who can score...even just a little.

 

[pittizit]

Games over...

Yep. Forget having a true center. I would be pleased if we could field a backcourt with a shooting guard and point guard that are at least average shooters[/I] from beyond the arc.

 

[cruzer]

We need guards who can score and we need guards who can actually stay in front of their man. Geez, we get beat off the dribble so many times it's pathetic.

[SouthSidePanther]

I don't see where this team will significantly improve next year. The overweight JUCO big man?

 

[goalieman]

HUGE 3 by Artis .... Pitt down by 1*

nm

 

[twelvetosix]

Huge three by artis... followed by a three from miami UGH

 

[goalieman]

Miami up 60-58, 1:47 to play*

nm

 

[noelr]

McClellan a scratch and then plays and hits his first 3

 

[Protes]

You don't think Durand, Cam Johnson and Damon Wilson will help?

 

[goalieman]

Pitt down 4, Miami has the ball, 51 sec to play .....

looks bad.
