Pitt up 9-7. Blew multiple chances to open up a nice lead in this one.
 
Hinson headband seems to indicate he was hit in the head… no?
 
This team looks like it has joined the Mason's union. Last year we could count on someone getting hot. This year, it's all brick!!

Fede Federstinko. In the game for 15 seconds...bad foul followed by a missed finish.
 
Guillermo and Jaland Lowe the 2 best players for Pitt in that first half. Guillermo only playing 12 minutes in that first half was inexcusable. 7 points to lead Pitt in scoring, and +1 in the box, team best. Jaland Lowe in full command off the bench. Jeff Capel needs to take the leash off already and give this kid some run. He looked great that half. Lowe buried both short range jumpers, and I expect this trend to continue as I said previously that his short shots were barely rimming out and he would hit them at a much higher rate. Lowe with 2 more assists and 0 turnovers, his ball control and assist to turnover ratio has remained Elite and on fire 5 games and counting.


Carrington and Hinson are a combined 4-15 shooting. Most of those looks were wide open for both players so the failure is on them and not Jeff Capel's offense. Hinson was out of control on multiple drives to the basket. If these 2 think they are NBA players, they better start making these shots more often than missing against good teams. This isn't NC a&t any more. These looks were clean and should have been made.

Jeffress and Jorge with both questionable and poor shot selection. Both players need to dial it down and wait for better opportunities to shoot and not be selfish. We cant burn valuable possessions with poor shots. Pass the ball.

We should be winning this game. The responsibility is not on Jeff Capel to make wide open looks. Hinson and Carrington, Im talking to you, step it up.
 
We should have a double digit lead IF
we coud put the ball in the ocean. Hinson
hurt us that half, yes they're playing a
tough D on him, but he's forcing when
he's covered, and worse than that he's
missing wide open shots. He's not the
only one missing.
As for Lowe, I don't know when they're
gonna let him play more, but he runs
the offense, and I don't think he had a
TO....same as the Syracuse game.

Awful start to the half. And the free throw issues are really becoming frustrating.
 
Terrible start to the second half. Hinson
with another wide open miss. Then 1-3
from the foul line. Meanwhile Davis
showing why he's the best player on
the floor.
 
Carrington with a quick 5 points to open the 2nd half with a free throw on 2 midrange jumpers off the bounce. If we are going to win, we need this to continue and he has to make these shots.


Hinson is now 2-10 this game and 1-7 from 3. We are going to need some 3s from him.
 
Hinson now a 3rd straight game being cold as ice. Can't create to the hoop on a team like UNC. Didn't get into a superior physical shape this year like he needed to
 
Pitt needs the Bub and Hinson that started this season . Pitt cannot win with them throwing up bricks .
 
Carrington with a 3. He has stepped up big time in the 2nd half. Now 5-10 shooting with 14 points.

Pitt down 6 with 11 to go. The 2 hottest players in this game are now both freshmen, Lowe and Carrington. Im riding with these 2 to close the game out if Im Capel. These 2 are the future.
 
Key possession down 47-41 and Bub goes "me ball" and airballs a 3.
 
Is Hinson actually good, or are there a lot of dudes who could put up some pretty crazy stats if they played unbelievably sloppily and selfishly like he does?
 
He's a one trick pony. Has ability to shoot crazy well at time, but showing ability to be cold even more often.
 
5 point game, 8 minutes to go

16 points for Carrington and counting
8 points and 3 assists for Lowe and counting
Guillermo with 10 points and counting

Hinson is 2-2372808723467 shooting and counting


There should be 3 players allowed to shoot to end this game. And Hinson isn't one of them.
 
Hinson should drive to the hoop

The 3s aren’t dropping period.

Second game in a row they're all over him
on D. When he doesn't have a shot he forces
a drive, and throws up a prayer. Worse yet,
he's also missing when he's open.
