Pitt-Cornell Game Thread

[Protes]

Good start for Pitt. 16-2 lead early but not defending the arc has gotten Cornell back to within 8.

Luther had some bad minutes. A travel, a foul and a brick from 3.

 

[Protes]

Chris Jones on fire off the bench. 4-4, 12 points. Artis heating up as well. 35-12 Pitt.

 

[PittMed]

They are very impressive tonight

 

[PittMed]

jones and artis are doing great

 

[PittMed]

25 point lead with minutes left in 1st half

Interestingly, some players have yet to leave the bench. Dixon is riding Jones

17 minutes in. Has Pitt set up their offense yet? This pace is crazy.

 

[Delpanther]

Just turned the game on and it's already over.....I guess that's good.

 

[PittMed]

Wilson looks in control at the point. I like his game.

 

[PittMed]

Not to bring up other things, but Dixon is dressing much more sharp this year.

 

[PittMed]

Artis looks very good as a 3. He seems to have slimmed down.

 

[PittMed]

Seems almost "lanky"

 

[PittMed]

46-19 at half

 

[Fk_Pitt]

Tempo. Tempo. Tempo.

 

[Protes]

A very solid first half. Good to see us treating an inferior opponent as such. This team has a lot of weapons offensively and even more so when Ododa and JRob are not on the floor.

 

[PittMed]

The team looks great, even considering the competition. I think this team just needs to establish identity, a leader or two, and the sky is the limit. It will be interesting to see if Dixon eventually limits the minutes of some players. Our top players are very good, but need the minutes...

 

[Piranha]

We are going to surprise a lot of people.

 

[PittMed]

agree.I think we are very underrated.

 

[hailtopitt25]

^^^ This team is very good. We are very deep. We should win all the bench time minutes. And we should compete just fine against any teams starters with young and artis.

 

[hailtopitt25]

As I say that the annoucers say we are winnings the bench scoring by only 1 point! I still think its a strength

 

[PittMed]

artis is impressive

 

[Delpanther]

Same Robinson.....

 

[PittMed]

dixon rocking the pocket tie tonight

 

[Protes]

Wow, great pass from Wilson to Jeter for the slam.

 

[PittMed]

wilson is so smooth

 

[Protes]

I'm starting to get a man-crush on Damon Wilson! He's gonna be a good one!

 

[PittMed]

The key is: we have depth, but can our top talent take on the top talent of the ACC?

 

[PittMed]

Wilson will be a great one.

 

[hailtopitt25]

Robinson was off on his shot tonight but I am very happy with him. 1. He's pushing the ball much more this year. 2. He's taking the open shot. He will never be a great shooter but he will shoot better then tonight.
