Pretty excited for this evening. I think this is going to be a 50/50 shot with the winner being the favorite to win it all. Proud of this team regardless, but hoping for the win!!!!
Pitt vs IU Gameday!
- Thread starter ThePanthers
- Start date
I would say 60/40 Pitt but at this point, anyone you play can beat you.
I think a key for Pitt is getting an early goal. IU hasnt played anyone and we're the best team they've played by a mile. I would come out full tilt and really push for a goal and not allow IU to settle into the game.
I’m going to a party tonight hosted by a former player who has an outdoor area lakeside with a big screen. He’s a guy who went to war in the 80’s over at the hartwood acres field. I’m sure he never thought this day would come. I’m happy for everyone who loves this university. H2P!
It’s a great day to be a PITT PANTHER. Good luck to the team tonight, let’s get it done. H2P.
It seems like we’re controlling the time of possession so far. Indiana hasn’t had much time in Pitt’s territory.
Dude. We are controlling the game and had 2 or 3 really good opportunities. We need to score first though because it just feels like lady luck is on ius side right now.
Indiana had zero periods of sustained pressure on offense. They had three half chances, two of them that almost always end up the way theirs did — with a turnover.
We really dominated the first half. But, without a goal to show for it. Petkovich should have buried that one. They are overplaying our right side. But, we haven’t gotten anything out of Decker or Bailey to take advantage of it.
I’m not confident. But, I’m feeling like we should win.

Indiana's coach seems pleased with the way that first half played out.
I can't imagine what game he was watching. Unless he's simply pleased that they aren't down a goal or two.

It's only one half and we know that the second half can play out completely differently, but based on that first half we are clearly the better team.
They are playing for a 1-0 win on somewhat of a lucky goal and in soccer, that happens quite a bit.
Which scares the shit out of me. Yes I'm being pessimistic right now. I'm just used to being a pitt fan.
Heartbreaking. Second good chance they have and it goes in. We have had at least six good chances.
We really out played them— just couldn’t bury one of like 6 really good chances . Damn .
Can’t help but wonder having an All-American level striker in Kizza is what could have separated this team from being a national semifinalist to a champion...though it’s a massive credit to the boys that they lost an All-American type of kid and STILL were dominant for most of a national semifinal.
Right because the team playing for that 1-0 team is always the inferior team. For IU, it worked tonight. That's soccer. IU sat back, didnt concede and beat a much much better team.
Petkovic in the 1st Half too. Dexter didnt play well. I dont understand why Mort played so much of the 2nd Half. Jacquesson is so good.
Tons of respect for Pitt from this Hoosier fan. Soccer is a cruel game and 1 goal against the run of play often is the difference. Pitt was the better team, but IU has found ways to win like that all tournament. No doubt your program will continue to grow and be a force in the ACC and nationally.
I enjoyed the chatting with some of you this week-all but 1 of you anyway. Thanks for allowing to hang out! Best wishes to all-even smf
