***Pitt-UNC Game Thread***

This could get ugly fast.

Definitely a dangerous point. What was Bub doing just plowing into that dude without any intention to shoot?

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

This could get ugly fast. We're not in a good spot mentally at all.

This game is right on the edge right now. If we don't find something here fast it's going to get pretty bad pretty quickly.

They are all over our guards. Bub can’t do that but he is taking a lot of contact.

 

[docpanther26]

Yup this is dangerous territory right now. Good time out from Capel. We need to collect ourselves and get back to work.

 

[JD1976]

The only thing working is Lowe and Carrington creating 1-on-1. Just going to have to ride that the rest of the way.

We have been in these situations before. But Carolina might be too good to come
Back against.

 

[Blair_45]

Can’t win this game with Hinson not scoring a single point.

Need to have our Jeffres on Reid coaching moment right now.

 

[Parkview57]

Good timeout. Coaching.

What did the staff tell these kids at halftime, Pitt has changed its game, UNC could not handle Bub and Lowe while smothering Hinson, why change the approach, poor coaching

 

[Protes]

We've missed 3 easy layups in this game and that is the difference in the score right now,

 

[SteelBowl70]

Agree - back against the wall here and Lowe misses a layup

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

Missed wide open layup by Lowe... ouch.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Why do we seem so mentally defeated? Damn.

 

[Protes]

We really have to stop feeding Fede expecting him to finish.

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

His layup off the glass like a Nolan Ryan fastball

 

[PittMan2003]

We really have to stop feeding Fede expecting him to finish.

Yeah that’s three times now. He doesn’t have it tonight.

 

[JD1976]

UNC is playing elite defense.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

We really have to stop feeding Fede expecting him to finish.

I don't think I've ever seen someone take a shot from about two feet in front of the basket and hit the ball off the backboard about two feet above the rim.

 

[PittMan2003]

Need G back in there now.

 

[BballinsiderfromPitt]

UNC has missed a bunch of layups too. Especially in the first half. Kind of sloppy, pickup game type of game

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

Blake gonna come alive now and we make a run

 

[SteelBowl70]

Well 10 minutes to pull off a miracle

 

[PittMan2003]

Blake gonna come alive now and we make a run

He is due.

 

[BreakingPitt]

Our payroll isn't as high as UNC. We need the owner to loosen the purse strings. Lol.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

UNC has missed a bunch of layups too. Especially in the first half. Kind of sloppy, pickup game type of game

FWIW, the game stats say we are 6-16 on layups and Carolina is 11-22.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

We really have to stop feeding Fede expecting him to finish.

Yeah, it's really weird. Seems like there's been a general understanding most of the season that he is offensively limited, but today we're acting like he's David Robinson.

We seem do be doing a lot of things out of character tonight...

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

Bullshit call on Lowe there

 

[BreakingPitt]

FWIW, the game stats say we are 6-16 on layups and Carolina is 11-22.

So what does that mean for the rest of the game ?

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

Damn'ed missed layups! Steal by Leggett and he misses his layin

 

[BreakingPitt]

Leggett can't buy a bucket.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

I mean these are warmup layups we're missing. Leggett and Hinson are playing awfully.

 

[SteelBowl70]

That was a killer. Should have been a 3 point game.

 

[Sam Young 23]

Keep hanging

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Bacot has hit like dudes like 20 times while shooting today. That seemed to be on the lighter side of his work, and they finally call the foul.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

So what does that mean for the rest of the game ?

Shoot the ball from further away from the basket.

 

[docpanther26]

Need to punch back right now! Lets go Pitt.

 

[OhioPanther99]

Ish shot has wad yesterday apparently

 

[docpanther26]

Regardless of the outcome, this is a tournament team.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Man, we're playing kind of lazy.

 

[OhioPanther99]

Regardless of the outcome, this is a tournament team.

Which one?
