NIT GAME THREAD- GW

Gotta admit- I can't remember seeing a Japanese basketball player before.
 
rrig5 ..... I love the 30 sec clock also ! ....

they also enlarged the no charge circle.
 
Re: rrig5 ..... I love the 30 sec clock also ! ....

Yep. Not sure how I feel about that yet. But the 35 second clock is brutal. 24 is too fast. 30 is perfect and the NCAA should go to it next year.
 
Re: rrig5 ..... I love the 30 sec clock also ! ....

Glad we don't have the bright mustard like Heinz!! Btw...I see guys driving to the basket and making it more enjoyable to watch! Hmmm...is that an indictment on Dixon, or did he just give them the green light to play street ball! During the year all of those players were very reluctant ..was it talent or the scheme?
 
Re: rrig5 ..... I love the 30 sec clock also ! ....

And I disagree Musuk prince, respectfully of course. I see the same offense being run. Also, I dont believe offense was a problem for us this year. We still cannot defend.
 
Crowd looks good.

Hate the shot clock. Leads to more possessions of bad offense.

If Cam's not going to try he shouldn't be out there.

Nice take by Newkirk. Hopefully gets some confidence going again.
 
If they're gonna shorten the shot clock, 30 seconds is just right. Do not want NBA type crap offense in college hools.
 
Re: GW 20 Pitt 17, 3:50 to play 1st half*

Will be thrilled when this season is over. We didn't go to CBI, but this team would lose to our CBI team.
 
Re: For St Patrick's sake, this team stinks

So much for 30 sec shot clock helping to increase scoring, gonna be in mid 50's

Sad, but the 1000 people there were booing them. Real shame. Hail to Pitt!
 
Re: For St Patrick's sake, this team stinks

Boo birds. Can't remember hearing them at a bball game since ive started following them in 07
 
Re: For St Patrick's sake, this team stinks

I think people who thought a shorter shot clock would increase scoring are naive. In NCAA we will just see many bad shots quicker.
 
Disgraceful


There are bad performances and then there's this crap we're watching. Simply horrible. No effort. Stupid, lazy turnovers. Matador defense. Bad shooting.. I heard boo birds after the terrible Robinson turnover.

One of the worst performances I've ever seen from a Pitt team. And this is against a very, very mediocre GW team.

I would seriously consider sitting the entire starting lineup for the first few minutes.

If we lose this game, it should be considered a mercy kill.

Cruzer
 
We all know the drill on Jamie. Great coach, mediocre recruiter. But...does a great coach allow THIS type of late season collapse? Embarrassing. Jamie's not yet on the hot seat, but it's getting warmer. Let's see what next season brings.
 
The announcers just trashed Pitt during the last 5 mins of the game and gave us a " beat down" at halftime!

Not good PR for Pitt so lets hope they pick it up in the second half.

Announcer Pitt was " just awful" GW was " more aware and tougher" than Pitt!

Its not what all of us think or say on this board its what people and recruits watching the game think!

That didn't help us!

Go Pitt!

Watching Jrob after his turnover wasn't encouraging either.... Jamie tried to pull him into the team huddle and he shrugged him off and sat on the bench... Newkirk finished the half and to be honest I hope he plays the whole second half too.

Body language looks terrible. Lack of focus or passion. Not one bit surprised. This is just about what you would expect if you followed the team all season. Some seem bothered to have to participate...Let the walk-ons play the whole second half. At least they would appreciate the opportunity.

Not sure but JRob looked like he may be hurt to me.

Pitt shot 50% in the 1st half .... turnovers killed us..... our shot selection wasn't that bad and players will adjust as they get used to a 30 sec clock ..... I actually like it.

I originally thought that too until I watched him sprint off the court at halftime....looked fine
I didn't see that..... switched at halftime to the Pens ... LOL !

I never say this about a Pitt player, but I can't wait for Cam Wright to be gone.
He quit on that play where he turned it over ..... didn't hustle back and GW scored.
