Pitt/UNC Game Thread

[TiredRam97]

Get Smith out of the game.

This team just can't prevent another team from going on an extended run.

 

[UPitt '89]

Jeter is SUCH a bad defender.

Smith has completely lost his shooting touch.

 

[Delpanther]

Why does Dixon refuse to double team inside- we're getting eaten up there

 

[noelr]

UNC has such talent but Roy Williams does not have talent in wardrobes. His outfit is awful

 

[JD1976]

Twice in a row Jeter was beaten on a basic baseline spin move.

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

We need to start shopping at the same player store as Carolina does. That drop step, spin move dunk was special.

It's the store called- we give no resistance in the post- at all.

 

[Delpanther]

Why does sterling smith still play?

 

[Pittx9]

Smith is useless

I really don't know what happened to him. He doesn't even get set anymore. Looks like he's just throwing the ball at the rim like a football.

 

[Deer Head]

Post D is pretty bad. I wonder if they will put Adoda in.

 

[iMissTheOldDayss]

Smith should not be on the floor

 

[PittPoker]

His shot is flat flat flat. Lost all confidence.

Boys are hustling out there. Smith needs to see the bench.

 

[recruitsreadtheseboards]

No, still that is talent to finish with the dunk. Unlike when we get position underneath and are shooting layups.

 

[JD1976]

Chase Adams and Yuri > Sterling Smith

 

[hailtopitt25]

Clemson a bad loss?GTFO

Helps to be 2 deep with McD AA players.

Lol that's really saying something. Those may be the two worst players we ever had.

 

[PittMed]

So, I'm not watching the game, but seeing the thread and the gamecast. You would think that we were getting blown out by the thread, but we are tied at 20 on the gamecast with ~ 9 minutes to play in the half. We are passing the eye test and competing. That is a step in the right direction.

 

[recruitsreadtheseboards]

Oops. That wasn't bad defense there. That was no defense.

 

[BigZeke]

I'll take twos over threes all day long. Gotta out score em today boys & gals

Just curious... what have you read that makes it sound like we're getting blown out?

Cam & Luther to play and play a lot today. Smith has clearly lost all confidence in his shot

I know. The posters on here are ridiculous.

 

[recruitsreadtheseboards]

Much better overall feel and atmosphere in DC than Greensboro also.

 

[Fredact]

Missing Maia

 

[iMissTheOldDayss]

Smith can't grab a rebound , can't make a pass , can't hit a shot

 

[recruitsreadtheseboards]

Are we going to have a James Robinson appreciation thread after this game? Man, he has to be better than that against tight pressure.

 

[Delpanther]

We're playing pretty well- can we keep scoring at this pace?

 

[MartyInLawrenceville]

Wow, still hard to comprehend how far Sterling Smith has fallen in such a short amount of time.

 

[BigZeke]

How is that NOT a foul on Mike's breakaway slam? This ACC bias has got to stop at some Pitt. Wow it's obvious today.

 

[drunkinoakland]

I liked that lazy pass Smith tapped to James that resulted in a loose ball in which James got put in an MMA Armbar.

I've been critical of James, but nobody deserves an armbar.

 

[Fredact]

Young fouled on the breakaway.

 

[PittPoker]

I know. The posters on here are ridiculous.

Will you just stop, just stop.

 

[recruitsreadtheseboards]

Smith can't grab a rebound , can't make a pass , can't hit a shot

You are just focusing on the negatives.

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

smith has to sit.
James bails us out with a smart Timeout

 

[BigZeke]

Wow, still hard to comprehend how far Sterling Smith has fallen in such a short amount of time.

Just a liability at this point. Hope he works his way out of it for the Dance.

We expect to win, not compete.

 

[33pitt99]

Will this be a 40 minute game for JRob? The thought of Damon going against a defense this aggressive is pretty scary...

 

[Oregon_Panther]

Give Smith credit...his defense on the throw-in allowed Mike to get the ball.

 

[JD1976]

Pitt's offense looks good. Carolina is going to get its points. Going to take 80 to beat them. So far Pitt looks good offensively and starting to get to the rim.

 

[PittPoker]

You are just focusing on the negatives.

I thought those were Smith's positives.
