My god Joe. Dead wrong. Dead wrong. Papa is literally one of the better players on the floor since he came into the game. I feel much better for Pitt now.

Bad call giving it to them off Kanye’s block. Clearly off their guy.

 

[SteelCityChamps]

Well Zack and Papa came to play.
Need the trio of Lowe/Ish/Delalic to make some 3s.

Yeah, if you only pay attention to what he's doing well (and he certainly has done some stuff well) and ignore everything else, he's wonderful.

14 minutes at center, two total rebounds, both on the same possession, none on the defensive end. Do we pay attention to that too, or no?

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

That Lowe shot was a "no, no, no, yes!" type of shot.

Kante

11 points
3 rebounds
1 steal
1 block
1 assist

14 total minutes of action in his 1st real game on the road coming off a major injury. OSU was shooting 71% before he came into the game. Thats now down to 54 percent. He's also +14, team best.

I mean, he single handedly turned this game around. But keep on going with your SMF / bballinsider denial.

He didn't single handedly turn the game around. But I get that someone who has pumped him up like he's an All American has to say that.

He still doesn't have a defensive rebound after he fumbled that last one away. Fortunately this time Leggett was there to pick it up.

OSU struggled to score the moment he came in. They were bricking shots and turning the ball over constantly.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Damn, he almost made that!

Actually his first four possession on defense were three baskets and a missed dunk. So no, not really.

And edited to add, the fifth possession was his guy getting position on him and him fouling the guy. Of course the guy missed both foul shots, so I guess good defense, right?

 

[Vader_Storm]

Ohio State shot 37% from the field with 7 turnovers in the 2nd half.

 

[Chairman Moe]

Who'd have predicted OT @ halftime? Great game and comeback by the Panthers. Gritty group

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

Pitt should have the momentum here... but the foul trouble on 2 bigs is scary

 

[HopeandChangeforAntoons]

lol. In OT?!? Could call that every possession.

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

That Thornton 3 was a miracle

 

[ECUPittfan]

That was aBS foul on leggett

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

These refs are jagoffs. WHen's the last time you saw a carrying call when dribbling. Where is this crew from?

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

These long rebounds we're losing... KILLING us

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

BS call on KANTE

 

[HopeandChangeforAntoons]

Foul on Thornton there. **** these refs.

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

F- these refs. They must come straiting of B10 HQ

 

[ECUPittfan]

2 guys go for ball. We didn't touch him. Ridiculous

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Heck of a way to get your fifth foul. That call was terrible.

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

Where was the foul on Ish? All he was doing was running after the ball... this game is being stolen from us

 

[MrPups]

Ridiculous loose ball and rebounding fouls in overtime. O$U don't even need to hit a bucket to win in ovetime.

 

[SteelCityChamps]

Starting guards 2-13 from three. Not ready for the big time.

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

I'm freakin' IRATE. This game has been taken from Pitt by these ref

 

[ECUPittfan]

BS call on KANTE

that guy was falling down before he was touched

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

How was that a foul on Pitt???!!!

 

[ECUPittfan]

8 on 5 out there today

 

[ECUPittfan]

Lowe didn't touch him

 

[Gregpitt]

They ARE B10 refs

 

[SteelCityChamps]

Starting guards 2-13 from three. Not ready for the big time.

2-14
Unbelievable.

 

[Cincypittfan]

If they just would have boxed out a little they would have won...horrible fundamentals on D box outs

 

[Chairman Moe]

Yikes

 

[MrPups]

I'm not one to whine about refs but thats the most free throws I've ever seen rewarded in an overtime on non-shooting fouls...purposeful fouls to stop the clock excepted.

Dude, every single other person on here agrees with me. Papa was the spark. Easily noticeably to most

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

That is a really dumb foul by that OSU player on a three point shooter. And he's done it twice.

 

[ECUPittfan]

That was a bad call on them

 

[Millerton]

Do u count keeping balls alive? He had at least 3 of those. I seen him boxing out on the offensive side of the ball. Diaz NEVER gets position. He altered shots, blocked at least 1.
