Official WF game thread...

Pitt is losing by 5 despite 22 points from Chris Jones. We get a great game from the shooting guard position and we still are finding ways to lose.

 

[UPitt '89]

In the span of two months, I went from loving Artis and Young's game to hating both of them.

They used to try. Now they look like players that are earning a little money on the side, if you know what I mean.

 

[JD1976]

Pitt basketball is in free fall.

 

[PittPoker]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? HOW DO WE GO FROM A 9 POINT LEAD TO PROBABLY LOSING THIS GAME BY 8??? THIS TEAM IS AWFUL!!

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

This is embarrassing

Good thing young is still taking jumpers from really far out

 

[King Of All Message Boards]

They now have 20 offensive rebounds. And they're down by 3. Hahahahaha.

 

[recruitsreadtheseboards]

I love this sequence. Says it all.

3:31 68-63 James Robinson missed Jumper.
3:31 68-63 Chris Jones Offensive Rebound.
3:22 68-63 Michael Young missed Jumper.
3:22 68-63 Ryan Luther Offensive Rebound.
3:18 68-63 Ryan Luther missed Layup.
3:18 68-63 Jamel Artis Offensive Rebound.
3:15 Foul on Doral Moore. 68-63

 

[Pittx9]

We were up 10. Pathetic, but we have to win this game still.

 

[UPitt '89]

That might be Pitt's first defensive shot clock violation in weeks.

 

[martingale]

Thankfully, Wake Forest is doing their best to help Pitt out. The Deacons last two possessions were woeful...

 

[UPitt '89]

3:31 68-63 James Robinson missed Jumper.
3:31 68-63 Chris Jones Offensive Rebound.
3:22 68-63 Michael Young missed Jumper.
3:22 68-63 Ryan Luther Offensive Rebound.
3:18 68-63 Ryan Luther missed Layup.
3:18 68-63 Jamel Artis Offensive Rebound.
3:15 Foul on Doral Moore. 68-63

Actually... a sequence with 3 offensive rebounds that ends with two FTs made is *GOOD*. That's the way Pitt used to play basketball.

 

[Protes]

Kudos to Luther for anticipating the sure JRim clanked missed 3.

 

[MartyInLawrenceville]

Hard work pays off, Luther with a huge tip to put Pitt up 1.

 

[goalieman]

LUTHER tip in .... 69-68 Pitt leads !

 

[recruitsreadtheseboards]

You know a loss here may not be the worst thing. It may be best to hit rock bottom. Rock Bottom tends to give clarity to problems. It tends to make solutions more easy, less subjective. It may be best to go out this season in embarrassing fashion.

 

[Pittx9]

Wow. Seriously. Then they call that one. Not even close to a foul.

 

[UPitt '89]

Wake is 12-for-26 from the FT line.

Thank goodness for them that FTs don't matter.

 

[Delpanther]

We miss more wide open jumpers than any team I've ever seen

 

[JD1976]

Jones could have had a cup of coffee before that 3 and still missed. Ugh.

 

[UPitt '89]

Disagree.

A loss is never good.

Ever.

 

[Pittx9]

That is really just Pitt's luck. Of all the shots for Jones to miss, the easiest one of the night. Nothing you can even do about that.

 

[UPitt '89]

Do we have one defensive stop within us?

 

[Scruffy the Panther]

I know Jones has been hot from deep, but he should've taken that to the rim.

 

[King Of All Message Boards]

Hopefully we don't score 70 AND lose. I'd like to at least see that streak continue.

 

[TiredRam97]

Mike Young needs to go after that ball!

 

[Pittx9]

Is Young seriously that f***king lazy!!!!

 

[recruitsreadtheseboards]

Disagree.

A loss is never good.

Ever.

In this case, not true. And losses are good in pro sports. Yes they are, you are a fool if you don't think so.

 

[MartyInLawrenceville]

Of course...

 

[Scruffy the Panther]

ROBINSON!

 

[UPitt '89]

Wow. I can't believe we got the rebound on the final possession.

 

[Delpanther]

OT for two $hit teams

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

Jones could have had a cup of coffee before that 3 and still missed. Ugh.

He should have drove.

But he's done his job today

 

[Pittx9]

James if nothing else has been clutch. And Young seriously almost just hit a half court shot to win it. And I mean that was in before rattling out. Can we please just come out and shut them down in OT?

 

[JD1976]

Robinson. Props. Big shot.

 

[goalieman]

WOW !!! ..... HUGE 3 by JRob .... 72-72 going to OT !

 

[UPitt '89]

In this case, not true. And losses are good in pro sports. Yes they are, you are a fool if you don't think so.

Only if you're trying for a higher draft pick.


There's no such thing as a good loss in college.

You gain NOTHING from losing to a bad team at home.

 

[Chairman Moe]

Are u f*cking kidding me? OT vs WF? OMG

 

[King Of All Message Boards]

More bad basketball. Yay.

 

[Scruffy the Panther]

Wow. I can't believe we got the rebound on the final possession.

Why? We've rebounded well all night.

 

[Delpanther]

James if nothing else has been clutch. And Young seriously almost just hit a half court shot to win it. And I mean that was in before rattling out. Can we please just come out and shut them down in OT?

This team is so fundamentally flawed they can't run away from anybody
