Pitt/UNC Game Thread

[sherepower]

Amazed the amout of run Smith gets at the 2 spot. He puts us at a 4 on 5 disadvantage everytime he is in

 

[Pittx9]

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

Very heads up senior play.

 

[UPitt '89]

We expect to win, not compete.

If you came in today expecting a win, then you are delusional.

HOPING for a win, yes. Expecting one? Delusional.

Yep.

 

[Delpanther]

Young forcing shots

 

[PittPoker]

Looks like Artis paid off his debts

 

[PittMed]

Yep.

Expect the best. Beat the best.

 

[BigZeke]

Young forcing shots

I think he's being aggressive. Love it

 

[TiredRam97]

UNC sucks on defense. Need to capitalize on And 1 chances.

 

[33pitt99]

Really attacking the basket at every opportunity. Love it!

Sadly I agree

 

[noelr]

smith should never see the floor again

 

[TiredRam97]

Thanks ref.

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

Mike is playing better. that's needed

If you're a player, you have to expect to win every single game you play. Logically as a viewer though, you gotta know that is going to be really hard to do today.

 

[PittMed]

Cam looks like he is rebounding and stealing. Only 1 shot though.

 

[Pittx9]

I'd rather Mike take jumpers than dribble. Really the only times he's looked bad today all boil down to his ball handling skills, or lack thereof.

 

[MartyInLawrenceville]

Making a point to listen to Doris Burke today. Man, is she good!

 

[TiredRam97]

LLLLLLLLLLLLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

 

[Pittx9]

LLLLLLLLLLLLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

THERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

 

[PittPoker]

LUTHER IS AWESOME!!!

 

[Delpanther]

Luther, keep it up, buddy!

 

[Pittx9]

Damn. Luther really is something else. 6-9 and can do it all!

 

[TiredRam97]

These WPIAL kids may turn out to be pretty damn good.

I'd love to see Cam have a great offseason in the weight room. His length on the perimeter is such a mismatch. Just needs to learn how to defend.

 

[recruitsreadtheseboards]

This is a pretty entertaining game so far.

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

james did a good job contesting the Berry 3...he just made it.

 

[PittPoker]

Damn. Luther really is something else. 6-9 and can do it all!

Like a Pittsnogle

 

[iMissTheOldDayss]

This team is focused today and it's showing !

more working on quickness is important for him, than strength- IMO.

It's funny to say this....but with his length and shooting ability, he may end up a definite NBA prospect in a year.

 

[Pittx9]

Like a Pittsnogle

Lol just not as ugly

 

[Delpanther]

Like a Pittsnogle

You mean pigsknuckle?

 

[Oregon_Panther]

Luther and Cam hustle every play...they refuse to take a play off!

 

[UPitt '89]

Like a Pittsnogle

Pittsnogle was a 6'11" oaf with only one skill - outside shooting.

He rebounded like a 6'5" guy, and couldnt defend.

Luther has an all-around game, and you're insulting him by comparing him to Pittsnogle.

 

[Pittx9]

I was thinking that today too. Solid all-around player with good size for a 2 in the NBA.

 

[hailtopitt25]

Agreed great game so far. Luther and Cam are players. Luther is old school kinda pott guy. I'm never one to get as down as all of you. I am one to get too hyped though so Keep that in mind with what I'm about to say. When we concentrate and don't shoot 20% we can play with anyone. I'd hate to have us in our bracket if j was another team

 

[Pittx9]

We really have the worst luck. 3 or 4 shots that have rolled right out.

 

[drunkinoakland]

I don't think Joel Berry has made one good shot.

 

[TiredRam97]

End of half woes continue. Need to finish strong!

 

[recruitsreadtheseboards]

Did you just see that drive by Cam Johnson? Didn't go but holy cow. The kid can do that against this team...he is going to be a force.
