Pitt vs Clemson Gamethread

C
Looked to me like it was out of his hand but wishful thinking on my part.
The question is if there's conclusive evidence to overturn that. I saw nothing that showed with certainty that the ball was on his fingertips when the red light went off. It may have been, but it was impossible to tell. Therefore, call on floor shouldn't have been reversed.
 
It’s pretty simple just pack the defense in and force Pitt to beat you from the perimeter .
 
Why is it that Clemson sucks all season but turns into Golden State against us-

May know other than our Chinese fire drill defense leaving everyone wide open
yuck
 
Well we also haven’t seen much of Amadusun yet so there’s still hope…
Seriously
We need to play our starters regardless of fouls -
Running either eze. Payton, and olidapo / with will flexing in -
Is how a 2 point game becomes a 14 point game in a hurry.

having Gueye at the high wing of the zone is a recipe for disaster - forget his fouls - they are going to either get a layup or an open 3 every damned time .
This is by far our worst defensive effort in awhile

You applying for Capel’s job?

Our zone defense, whether it's this extended 2-3 that we are playing today that works more like a 4-1 or that 1-3-1 that we were playing the other day are simply god awful. We are so worried about defending the three that we leave guys wide open in the mid-range and we get running around the perimeter so much that we don't actually do a good job guarding the three point line either.

The worst of both worlds!

I agree and you certainly can't have more than 1 of Jeffress, Ezeakudo, Oladapo, and Payton in at the same time. You can't have 40% of your lineup be NEC players.

Seems like a lot of criticism of coaching decisions in this thread
 
Gueye keeps leaving his space in the zone. Is it that hard to understand what you're supposed to do in a 2-3?

You keep acting like Capel should be back. The coaching sucks. The players we have mostly suck. How on earth is this man deserving of a 5th season here?

We've made at least 3 absolutely inexplicable cross-court passes today leading to turnovers. No comeback coming tonight it seems.
 
This team is garbage. The program is garbage. This is unacceptable. Capel is a donkey dick, who dresses poorly and had a bad haircut. No reason for this to continue.

Lyke needs to hire Niko Medved. If he can bring a few of his guys from Colorado St (specifically Roddy), then our rebuild will be expedited quite a bit.

Jeffress continues to be baffling offensively. He doesn’t want the shot yet he plays 20 ft from the hoop. This completely negates the double team on Hughley because he is no threat. He positions like a shooter but can’t shoot. He has no offensive value at this point and plays way too many minutes

I’ll point out/ every time hugely takes a face up jumper from mid range or further -
The opposing coach is celebrating


The people who don't understand the efficiency argument about Hugley ought to be paying attention to this game. Hugley has 15 points on 11 shots. Hall has 16 points on 5 shots.

One of those is just a little better than the other.
