NC State gamethread

I really wish we ran an offense instead of high ball screens every post. Some sort of motion please
 
Yeah this flopping needs to be reviewed and t’d up. Completely agree!

If you fall, it should be automatic foul on you. These kids need to be incented to stay on their feet and stopped from baiting the ref by falling. None of us would fall if Blake Hinson took 1 dribble and made slight body contact with us. Well, maybe Souf would.
 
This is unpopular and I expect to take some crap for it... But with the way that this team is constructed..They are better with Fedi on the court.

Hugley is a liability offensively right now. Why he thinks him taking long jumpers is productive is beyond me.
 
So the color commentator thinks that NC State is going to start playing offense/defense with their two big guys.

With over five minutes left in the first half.

🤔

Fedi Is everywhere on defense and I fully Expect JH to get back into shape but right now Fedi needs to be on the Floor! That dunk followed by that last possession on defense was fun to watch!
 
One quibble with Federiko's defense is that there is no reason for him to be pushing the hedge out to 40 feet from the basket. The guy who is 40 feet from the basket can't hurt you. His teammate who is rolling to the hoop wide open can.

We do not have an offensive rebound yet. Do a little better with that in the second half and cut down the 9-3 turnover difference and cruise on home.
 
Gritty first half! We've earned this lead on both ends, overcoming some hard-nosed D from NC State, IMO.

Agreed but one thing that NCST has done very well is make Pitt extend their defense. I'm interested to see if they pack it in more in the second half.
 
I don’t know how this turns out tonight but damn I’m enjoying watching Pitt basketball again. And make no mistake, Capel has to be doing some kind of coaching.

They have to do something to clean that up. It’s not automatically a charge if the defender goes to the floor.


The funny thing was that the dude stayed down on the court for at least 10-15 seconds like as if he was hurt. The only way he was hurt was if he hurt himself dropping like a rock.
