Pitt UNC Game thread 7PM ACCN

[Franb]

Toney needs to step it up. He is supposed to be a leader and has done nothing so far.

He and X are 0-8 shooting.

 

[California Gold]

Did they score Champagnie with the 3pointer at the end of the half?

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

I thought that last Champagnie shot clearly looked like a two, but it looks like they are giving him credit for a three.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Did they score Champagnie with the 3pointer at the end of the half?

It looks like they changed it to a three.

Did they score Champagnie with the 3pointer at the end of the half?

Yes

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

BTW, our leader in defensive rebounds at the half is...

Ithiel Horton, with 3.

Which, I think, says a lot.

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

If we box out and don’t allow second shots, then we can win. That is a big if.

 

[passedout]

Toney and Brown are playing soft inside. We desperately need some size and toughness.

One is playing soft, the other is outsized.

If we box out and don’t allow second shots, then we can win. That is a big if.

Yep. UNC does not shoot well. If Coulibaly gets in foul trouble this games over.

And right on cue....

 

[passedout]

Nice ball movement on the Horton 3-- good find by X

 

[Black Panther]

Nice stuff by Brown.

 

[UPitthoops]

I would give Jeffress a few minutes on Bacot. Can’t hurt.

 

[Protes]

If we box out and don’t allow second shots, then we can win. That is a big if.

Yeah, not looking good there. They're killing us on the offensive glass.

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

One is playing soft, the other is outsized.

Toney is getting beat on 50-50 balls in which he isn’t going against their bigs.

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

Pathetic Effort on the Boards

 

[pittbb80]

Geez. Rebound off a free throw. Again that’s just laziness (standing around)

 

[pittbb80]

Classic brown. Miss the pass and get stuffed

 

[pittbb80]

Games over. Team is flat. Inexcusable after the loss to wake

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

You give up a rebound on missed foul shot and then Brown fumbles an easy pass. This team has reverted back to being soft. I guess it was fun watching a tough team for a brief period of time earlier this year.

 

[pittbb80]

The grit they showed in prior games is completely absent today. Absolutely no emotion

 

[gary2]

Put anyone in in place of Brown.

Really weak rebounding tonight

 

[Protes]

TB couldn't handle the dish for the easy bucket and then ends up getting blocked....sums him up. #smh

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

I am so tired of watching Brown. Put someone else in.

 

[SouthSidePanther]

If Hughley wasn't a criminal we might be winning this game.

 

[pittbb80]

Wow this is fingers on a chalk board frustrating. Another rebound on a missed free throw

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

The grit they showed in prior games is completely absent today. Absolutely no emotion

What grit are you expecting ?
The 4 best post players are wearing baby blue

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Need a freaking rebound.

 

[SouthSidePanther]

Blowout incoming

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Need to put an end to the undisciplined play and wasted possessions.

 

[Protes]

Down 10 and we need a good possession. Instead X forces things and turns it over.

 

[DruidTM]

Down 12...?

come on

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

Blowout incoming

This was sadly predictable
Unc dominating the glass = we have no chance

 

[Franb]

Blowout incoming

Only chance Pitt has is getting hot from 3; there is no inside game to be had.

 

[Black Panther]

I am so tired of watching Brown. Put someone else in.

I think you got your wish.Amadasun sighting.

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

Im just disappointed we didn't play as hard and as tough as UNC.

 

[Protes]

If Hughley wasn't a criminal we might be winning this game.

I don't think Hugley saves us in this one. UNC still has too much over us inside. First game all year against a team with good bigs, and the results say it all. JC desperately needs to land a true center.

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

This team doesn’t get it. They aren’t talented enough to win unless they play hard every possession and play well as a team. This is either going to be a wake up call or else the wheels are going to fall off.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

I think you got your wish.Amadasun sighting.

And we all saw how well that worked out.

 

[pittbb80]

Can Coulibaly dunk? Dude doesn’t look like you can put the Sunday paper under his feet when he’s off the ground
