Pitt-Virginia Game Thread

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
I can.
They do.
It's not a big gulf... But they are a talented team.
They also play both ends, which makes them more talented than Pitt, who ignores defense too often.

Random thought, but the ability to defend should be calculated into the overall talent equation. Artis doesn't defend. I'm sure Dixon has tried to get him too, but he simply can't or won't.
 
Perrantes is a good shooter I am not seeing him as this great talent. Defense is all about effort and coaching, you can have all the talent in the world and be a bad defensive player. Bennett gets 100% effort from his players

Bennett would never have someone like Artis on his roster then. He recruits players who can play in his system, not always the most talented
 
Awful shot selection by Artis with chance to take lead. Really bad.
 
Man did that Artis three attempt totally change the momentum of the game. Back to back poor decisions by him and now down 6.

team is so soft. tie the game, give up open threes and turn the ball over in consecutive possessions. just because you don't have the talent to play D doesn't mean you shouldn't get them to at least try jamie.
 
Wow. This is beyond embarrassing. Once again this team's effort is questionable at best.
 
another turnover. that's three in a row. call a timeout already jamie your team has completely lost it. 11-0 run after you tie it. pathetic. shouldve called a TO after the second uncontested three.
 
This is the most frustrating team to watch in some time , I remember when we had guys that wanted to play defense , these guys just want to score , can't defend anybody , remember when top teams lost at the Pete on the regular ? Yea those days are long gone , this team is an embarrassment

If your ever going to win big in today's college basketball. Your guards got to be able to take over games. I just don't see it on this roster or in the future.
Untill this changes.......expect the same results we have seen the last 4 or 5 years
