***Pitt v Mississippi State - game thread***

Four fouls in a physical half. Hmmmmmm !? I believe we were trying to avoid foul trouble after our last few games. Look to pick things up, but too little too late, but we get back in this game.
 
This game is an anomaly. Just like Pitt destroying a WVU team that went on to beat Gonzaga. Just one of those nights. Pitt isn’t this bad and MSU isn’t this good.

Wisconsin scored 68 points in the final 26 minutes. OSU was shooting 70% 25 minutes into the game. Its because we can't keep guys in front of us and we have no rim protection so everyone gets a layup

Maybe if the uninspired turds would have got some defensive boards we'd only be down 10.
 
This may go down as one of the most dominant games I've ever seen at this level. How many times can you get facialed and not even show any fight.
 
No. We aren't a Top 5 team. We are a bubble team. I said 1-2 and we will be bubble and that's what we'll be. Probably go 12-8 in the ACC and head to Dayton.
No chance. This team looks absolutely horrendous. Besides, even if we do go 12-8, with how awful the ACC has been in the non-con, that likely won't be enough.

Honestly, I am trying to figure out if we'd be down any worse right now if we were playing the Celtics. I'm not sure we would be. This is as bad as I've ever seen Pitt get beat.
 
No Dunn in this game really hurts. Deliac and Cummings can't match up physically or speed wise with Deliac. Causing alot of rotation issues in defense.
 
Lol! Football/basketball it doesn’t matter. When either team is ranked with some hype they crap the bed very next game. Death, taxes, & Pitt humility!
 
Pitt is doing very very little correctly that I don’t know where to start, but ultimately physically outmatched everywhere except the PG spot.

Lowe is the only player who is handling the speed/athleticism of Miss St.- everyone else can barely hold on to the ball.

Cam is a massive disappointment today, doing his best Federico impression.
 
Second chance points, 17-2
Points in the paint, 42-10

I don't know which of those is worse, but they are both horrendous.
 
Rebounding. Defense. If you lose both of them as badly as Pitt is losing them tonight, you will get beat by a lot. This team lacks rebounding and defensive ability against the good teams. This will happen all year if somehow Capel doesn't fix it real quick. Being this completely outclassed by a not top tier SEC team is an eye opener. We've got serious warts.
 
Lowe has made seven baskets. Everyone else combined has made eight.

He also (not surprisingly) leads the team in assists and if he had one more rebound he'd be tied for the team lead in that too.
Correct and he's been hands on hips, lazy on D, and looks disinterested. I don't care if you average 20 points and lose by 30 every game.

They were ranked last week…top 25 team on the road.

If we benched everyone tonight who has hung their head and not looked interested at one time or another would there be anyone else left to play?

I guess the walkons and Jorge.
