Pitt Cuse game thread

[HailToPitt725]

That was the best 90 seconds of Cam Corhen that we've witnessed this year.

Corhen in the second half:

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I wouldn’t mind some Block Pitt throwbacks at some point, if only because we had our most successful run wearing them.

I'll never root for block again, but I thought the Vegas/Navy script uniforms we began wearing in 2016 were pretty sharp. I strongly dislike our current basketball uniforms.

Ya gotta get this win for Krauser

Dude is INTO IT!!!

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

One of the rare occasions where Corhen actually prevents a basket.

I'm going to go glass half full and call that making progress.

We're winning by 8 as I type this and came back from 16 down. And still hate this team.

too generous... are you having an aneurism ?

Can anyone tell me what that building was that they just showed as they transitioned into commercial? Was that from inside the Pete?

If it’s what I think you’re referring to, that was the old Pennsylvanian Hotel tucked in at the Amtrak station.

Louisville game will determine our fate

Tale of 2 halves. H2P!!

I'd be pleasantly shocked if we won the four games in addition to that.

 

[DruidTM]

Pretty harsh they rewarded Syracuse for our last foul shot???

WTF?? lol

 

[HailToPitt725]

Take of 2 halves. H2P!!

I will say, this game had a very surprising result. Even with clawing back in the first half, I didn’t think this team had the toughness to come back 16 down. Props to Capel for rallying the troops.

Maybe I'm too optimistic, but hopefully they can build some momentum off of this and keep the ball rolling.

The other teams we're playing are bad. But so is UVA. I wrote the Louisville game off as a loss at the start of the season.

WTF?? lol

That's what I thought as well. Wasn't it 80-69?

And of course the point spread was 10.5, so somebody probably turned it on and unnecessarily committed suicide thanks to the gaffe.

What the hell was that???

Gotta beat ND Saturday and then win against Georgia Tech at home next Tuesday and neither of those wins will be gimmies. Nonetheless, a win is a win tonight and it still at least gives this team a pulse of keeping their slim NCAA tournament hopes alive.

 

[PittPanther44]

Great night for me. Out to dinner and missed being down 16. Started watching, liked the way we were playing, Got a favorable line and made a quick $300 while watching a good performance.

 

[SteelCityChamps]

Legit shocked they nutted up at half and pulled out the win.
Don't know what to think of how Lowe and Corhen played, but we like to fight another day with a sliver of light at the end.

 

[MarshallGoldberg]

Found a rotation that worked eventually. I still think we over help and give up too many threes partially because of that. Sl

Surprisingly good game environment considering the situation.

Orange made 9 of first 13 and 5 of last 20

lol - I heard the PA announcer in the background say 79-70 as well. So the TV must have been linked to what they showed at the game.

For whatever reason, the last point of the game (Ish FT) was originally awarded to Syracuse on the broadcast. Did not get fixed until right after the final buzzer. 80-69 final.

 

[SteelBowl70]

Scored 74 points in the last 29 minutes

74-47 margin

Yep - it was this room, except at night. Looked awesome.

Synopsis of this post ..

Boy everyone stinks , on they won …..never mind beat ND ! Go Panthers !

 

[bobfree]

Small thing. But why do Lowe and Zach have their shirts untucked. IMO that’s a sign of zero discipline

lol

They should appoint him Zoo Chairman. He attends most of the games and is always into it.

Tale of Two Halves

 

[PittAU]

Fun game. Terrific job by the boys not packing it in and just quitting. We were 18/24 from the line. Rebounds were tied at 34, we had 12 assists on 26 baskets and had 8 blocks to zero.

I assume that happened on the broadcast because they screwed it up in the arena.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

BTW, the next time we bitch about our offense (and we've certainly had plenty to bitch about at times), against Boston College tonight Virginia Tech scored 11 points in the first half and 36 points for the game.

Ouch.

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

Every team has an epic 3 point shooting average against Pitt

Every f@cking team

No excuses for it

Our rotations are too slow, which is why I don't think this team should be helping off shooters. If your guy beats you for 2 points, so be it. But we help, then get caught in rotations and it's a wide open 3.

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

There has to be a strategy to defend 3s that is better than this. Period

Play "no help"

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

Pitt is 16th in the ACC in 3 Point Defense and 14th in Rebound Margin. Teams are shooting an eye-popping 39% vs us. I mean if you have 1 guy on your team shooting 39%, that's pretty good. But we are giving that up to everyone in the league.

Well, VT is paying very close to $0 in player payroll. Mike Young still may get my vote for Coach of the Year. I picked them 17th or 18th.

 

[Chairman Moe]

Scored 74 points in the last 29 minutes

74-47 margin

That was what I calculated too. Down 22-6 and finished the final 3/4 of the game 74-47. Folks who didn't watch the game might see the final score of 80-69 and think that Pitt was always ahead ... crazy game

It's been cut back, but I don't think it's anything close to $0. They have a few guys that can play.

Supposedly, the Hokies have been battling a flu outbreak.
