Good start again except the offensive rebounding. Ododa has to be better. Jeter coming in for him now.
 
Defense and rebounding need to get a lot better. It's a new era of Pitt basketball, our offense looks like our strength.
 
The are playing bigger and stronger than us. A bit troubling.
 
I think Robinson is doing just fine. Defensively though, we might be as bad as any team in the country. Every ACC game we play might be shootouts in the 90s or 100s.
 
I really hope we get it together this season defensively. This is our best offensive team in at least 20 years and it's not even debatable.

Pitt will lose this game if they don't tighten up on the boards. Can't count on your team to keep shooting like this.

Defense was ok in the first half. Hit a lot of tough shots and gathered far too many of the misses. If we can hold them off the offensive boards in the second half we win by 20+ easy.

I'd like to see some more Luther and maybe Maia. Nelson-Ododa really does nothing on the glass. I think Luther is almost always a spark off the bench, Maia i don't know what's up. Possibly not getting playing time because he's still recovering from injuries?
 
2-3 zone really helped slow things down. Thought Maia should have come in sooner. Need his big body today.
 
Wow. What the hell happened. Awful 2 minutes of basketball to start the half.
 
Well, looks like JRob read all the posts after last game and took it to heart.
Let's see how he plays against Purdue. If he gives us the same points and assists I like our chances. The big question is IF.
 
I know Luther can make the trey, but I want him to stop shooting it.

I don't know, since the game in Hawaii last year he's been pretty bad from deep. Needless to say, I agree that he doesn't need to be shooting threes. We have plenty of deep threats besides him.
 
This team is a Gary McGhee away from a protected seed this year. Today's game exposed that the center position remains our weak link, not the PG position.
 
I think James Robinson is playing better than ever. Looks as good as he was as a freshman plus he's shooting better than he did back then. I personally think he's much better than Woodall was.

Disagree.
 
I think it's telling that you only ever really talk about Robinson when you have a chance to jump on him for having a "bad game."

I'm sorry I don't have the same opinion as you, my bad. Would you like me to agree with every single post you write? Here, let me state it out for you very clearly:

I think James Robinson has underachieved here, has not lived up to any hype that a bunch of you were saying was better than Levance (that still cracks me up by the way)and that's MY OPINION.

I have no problem with people disagreeing so long as they can articulate a reason why beyond "disagree" or "he sucks."
 
I guess when he can't attack Robinson he feels the need to attack players (Maia) and posters instead.
Are you serious?? There are like 5 or 6 regulars on here that attack me all the time and have done it for years. Sometimes the posts get deleted and sometimes they don't. And you are going to comment on me??? Get a clue before you comment on something you know nothing about.

You can't even bring yourself to say JR had a good game. Still got to dig. Pretty telling you have an agenda with hi.

Of course he had a good game. I indirectly said it when I mentioned that if he puts up the same numbers against Purdue we will win the game. No agenda at all, just don't really care for him as our point guard. Excited about Wilson next year.

If James puts up 16 and 10 all year he'd be in the talk for All american. Expecting or demanding that kind of production is silly. What I like from James this season is that he's being more aggressive. I'd rather him go 0-9 like he did against Cornell than go 1-3 from the field like he did in a lot of games last season. Teams are gonna double young and Artis a lot, and James will have a lot of open looks. Needs to take them.

Agree it was nice to see him take a lot more shots.
