Pitt-Virginia Game Thread

17 minutes into game and we have a total of 2 points from our guards. That's almost unheard of in college basketball. Artist & Young need some help!

I think James is a very solid point guard. Today though, he is just flat out killing us offensively. His shots have not even been close.

I don't. I think he is maybe the most overrated player in the ACC. He does nothing. Except not turn the ball over. That's it.
 
A missed 3! Glad to see our brilliant defensive strategy is paying off.
 
Board is more readable with poker on ignore.

I think banning should be extremely limited but if this incessant repetitive stuff continues it really should be considered in his case. There's not a person on this board that doesn't know how he feel fifty times over. And he cares not how annoying it is.
 
Time for Wilson in the 2nd half.
I'd be playing a lot more Wilson and I would't do it at the expense of Sterling Smith. Personally, I think they need to get Sterling more involved offensively. He's barely even gotten a pass to him yet.

We're not going to win this game unless one of the guards wakes up. Va doubles and triples on every possession and we still can't get an open shot and when we do a guard throws up a brick

What could it hurt at this point to play Slim & Damon as a tandem tellin Slim to shoot, shoot, shoot & Damon to attack the rim. Play a zone with those two loooooong guys out front and take our chances. Really in some games Smith & JRob literally give us nothing. Nothing. Here's hoping for a huge 2nd half from our Sr. G's.

I'm going to strongly disagree that UVA doesn't have better players than Pitt. Their guards are heads-and-shoulders better. Brogdon is a stud and terrific college player.
 
Anybody's game, real fortunate to be down by 2 - we need a few 3's by Smith, why won't he shoot the ball?

Artis came to play today.

He's certainly been a man-child, but has put MY in bad positions a couple of times. Don't blame him for trying to get him the ball, but he's clearly being doubled the second he touches the ball in the corners. They need a solution to that in the 2nd half.

I don't think they're better overall. Brogdon though IMO is clearly the best guard on either team. I don't think that's even debatable.
 
Artis and Young vs Brogdon. Pitt has two possible NBA players vs UVA's one.

Nobody can compare UVA's starting 5 to Pitt's and say that, talent wise, UVA has the edge. IMO of course, UVA wins because of their great coach
