Pitt @ Miami Game Thread

Have you been to Coral Gables ?
Talk all you want about coaching , but the coaches aren’t missing any open looks !
Not looking so hot against good team that aren't missing 40% of their starting lineup this season. It'd be nice just to lose this by less than ten.
Hinson has 11 of 26 now and is the only reason we’re not run out of the gym but we will hear how this team needs younger players and Hinson stinks from one insane poster
Miami has hit almost every 3… they better figure out how to defend it
This is pathetic. Pitt is back to their normal Capel team, lacking defense and playing one-on-one playground ball. That 80 points Pitt needs to win isn't going to happen today, especially when the opponent is going to score in the 90's.
I hear you, but it seems like we're saying this every game. I'm beginning to think it's us! Haha
The way we played the final 3+ minutes it looked as if we could (or should) have cut their lead in half. Still, it doesn't look like it's the Miami defense that's beating us; it's lousy shooting. Leggett's last three was unguarded and he just seemed rushed
Pretty strong close to the half from Hinson. He had 1 point when I posted was 0-4 from the field and 1-3 from the line. Nice strong finish including on the glass by him,.
The biggest issue with this entire game is the same thing I have been bitching about non stop on this board.
We have taken 31 shots. 17 of those are 3s. And we are shooting 23% from the 3. We have had success in back to back acc road wins with constant dribble penetration. We got put on the free throw line 3 times in this game just based off Austin drives. I would love to be in the huddle at halftime and what Jeff Capel says. Because this team is down 11 and needs to get going attacking the rim relentlessly and forget the dam 3 ball outside Hinson.

Miami made 38.9% of their threes in the first half, as opposed to the 39.1% they shoot on threes for the season.
One of the best in the country, in fact. So we should have expected that they were going to make some of them.
The bigger issue is that we are shooting them much worse than normal. If we had made two more, which would have been close to our average, and the score was 40-35 we'd all probably be feeling a little better.
I'd like to see an advanced stat on open looks. Because this "well, Capel can't make the open shots for these guys" doesn't jive with what I'm seeing most games. Yes, every team misses some open ones, but we seem to consistently get worse looks than our opponent from 3. Hinson is obviously a big part of that.
True; the score should be 40-36 (adding one more FT) if we shoot our average percentages. We'll see if the second half improves and we can make a "Springfield" turnaround
Right. We’ll probably see another insane post about how the 24 year old shooting us into wins and keeping us in games is the problem though
Watch the replay. You will see 3 Pitt players miss 4 wide open 3s in that first half where there wasn't a player within 10 feet or so of them.
Today, absolutely. The one Austin missed by a foot was especially egregious. But I'm not talking about just today. And a lot of the ones we make aren't great looks either.
The way you cape for the coaching staff makes me believe you have to be related. Guys miss shots
Almost every one Hinson makes is a shot that you would never want a normal basketball taking
Seems the more things change, the more they stay the same. At least Capel had the right sense to call a TO
How does Lowe shoot an air ball on a wide open 3? I don't understand that. It's just strange to me that a guard with good form can do that.
Which gives me very little hope for the future of this team, under this staff, when he leaves.
... as he drains one from the midcourt logo.
Yeah, but guys miss open threes literally every game.
Imagine what people's shooting percentages would look like if they made every open shot they took.
I mean the average player shoots around 70% on foul shots, which are significantly shorter than threes and the definition of wide open shots.
Yeah but it shifts blame from his 2 brothers, Jeff and Jason, who are not up to snuff coaching or recruiting. So he will continue saying stupid stuff and using straw man arguments
And the shots are wide open; most have been uncontested. SMH. As others said, if we could just shoot our average the game score would be much closer
Well of course they do. But you can't miss 4 of them completely wide open like that. And I stopped counting how many other shots were wide open. The Lowe miss this half was wide open.
All this team does is want to shoot 3s today.
Ill make bballinsider happy. Capel gets an F in this game for letting his team continue to shoot like this.
23 of our 40 shots have been 3 pointers. That is almost 60% of our total shots. That is sickening.
For which team?
The good news is Miami isn't making their threes this half so far. The bad news is that we still aren't making ours either.
