Pitt vs GT Gamethread

[TheSpecialSauce]

Good Start

 

[docpanther26]

Early turnovers, need to slow those. Let’s go Pitt!

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

It is nice to see the improvement with Coulibaly.

 

[docpanther26]

Seem to be forcing things.

 

[iMissTheOldDayss]

Toney is absolutely pissing me off

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

Toney is absolutely pissing me off

He forces too much on offense, but is playing pretty well on defense.

 

[docpanther26]

Coulibaly is not flashy but he works hard out there. It is fun to watch him improve.

Missing 2 free throws does not help.

Yes he is playing sound defense which I love but yes it seems EVERY shot he takes is the wrong one

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

We cannot afford XJ to get into foul trouble, but I do like him sticking up for his teammate.

 

[docpanther26]

Have to make those wide open threes

 

[BballinsiderfromPitt]

Popping in for my only in game message to say how much of a fuccing tool Josh Pastner looks like with that face shield on.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Ugly game offensively so far.

Hey, to be fair he would look like one even without the face shield!

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

Yea - need to make open shots.

 

[docpanther26]

X continues to force things. Wish he would let the game come to him.

 

[BballinsiderfromPitt]

First time this year I can say with 100 percent certainty Champagnie is not healthy.

You should have seen their last game against Clemson. Pastner got pissed off at one of his players. He threw it down to the ground. TV Teddy walked over and T’d him up. Pastner was trying to explain himself to Teddy who wanted no parts of it. Pastner put it back on and the visor was all mangled.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

I don't know which is worse, our offense or our help defense.

 

[docpanther26]

Five guys standing there and not moving. Unreal.

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

A Turnover Fest with no semblance of an offense.

I’ve dealt with him a few times. His look says it all

 

[docpanther26]

Terrible first half of basketball, hope we do something the second half. It didn’t look like we knew what we were doing out there.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

At the 10:18 mark Johnson hit a three to make it 16-12 Pitt. Over the last 10:18 of the half we scored six points and were outscored 19-6.

 

[iMissTheOldDayss]

Whatever we are doing when we have the ball and are trying to put it in the hoop should not be called offense, what exactly is the plan out there man? This happens far too often and it's EMBARRASSING....

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

At halftime our two point guards have combined for 9 turnovers.

It is offensive

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

This is one of those -
We need a shakeup on the coaching staff games
Holy shit

 

[WannyandWalt]

This team looks as bad as Stallings, we are lucky the league is the worst it's ever been!

 

[docpanther26]

Not surprisingly, when we play unselfishly and move the ball we are a completely different team. This first half of basketball was filled by uncertainty and lack of communication. Looked like the first half of basketball we played the entire year.

 

[NCLee]

Horrendous! What in the hell are they even trying to run on offense? It’s crazy! I’m watching 6,7,8 grade Rec league with Pitt on my phone. And honestly the offenses look similar. No flow no plays, no direction

 

[TheLogicalTake]

I’ve dealt with him a few times. His look says it all

Stayed at the same hotel once when he was coaching Memphis. One of the more unlikeable guys in coaching I’ve ever come across. All of the arrogance of a guy like Calipari without a hint of similar accomplishment

 

[iMissTheOldDayss]

This is laughable, why are we this way

 

[9nationalchampionships]

We need to put electric sensors on Toney’s hands and anytime he tries to shoot outside 12 feet it zaps him

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Coulibaly decided to take a nap at halftime and no one remembered to wake him up for the second half.

 

[doubleAA's]

Good Start

This may be the worst half Pitt has played under Capel

 

[iMissTheOldDayss]

I can't stand Xavier and the way he plays man, I really, really can't, just being honest

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

I can't stand Xavier and the way he plays man, I really, really can't, just being honest

This the the battle completely unlikable point guards

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

You do realize the comment was made early in the game when we had a lead. Correct?

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

Coulibaly decided to take a nap at halftime and no one remembered to wake him up for the second half.

There is no reason whatsoever to front that guy on defense .
Make him a jump shooter
