Pitt vs Miss St game thread

Amazing I just went thru the entire game thread and the only thing you read are negative comments. Is Pitt losing at half by 15 points? A bunch of whiners on this site FFS

Pitt is winning.

If it were a beauty contest, both teams would be ran out. Luckily, it's just survive and advance.
 
I would agree if we could rebound. The fact that we can't will keep them in the game unless we go on a 3pt shooting streak of like 5 of 5.
I think if we can get out to a 7-8-9 point lead it will really put pressure on them. When you're a bad scoring team, you really want to stay in striking distance.
 
We. Are. Not. Try. To. Get. Rebounds.

Cummings watching. Then Elliot spectating. I get we're not great at this, but our effort on the defensive glass SUCKS.
 
Man we don't have a person in the same zip code on the offensive boards.
That three attempt a couple minutes ago had four other Pitt players on the other side of the court. As you said, nobody remotely interested in rebounding.
 
They’re not that skilled. What are you seeing to lead you to believe they could ever be that type of player? The 3s they occasionally make? And they are nowhere near physical enough to play P6 basketball at this point. With those physiques I’m not sure they ever will be.
I think a role that could suit them, particularly Joey, is a 3&D where they work the perimeter on offense and drive to the basket with the pump fake. I actually think they do a good job using the dribble to get where they want to go. The problem I see is that they don’t know what to do once they get there.
 
I’m still trying to understand how a ball slapped out of Sibande hands gets called out on PITT?
 
I know Burton has 3 fouls but you gotta get him back in the game sometime in the next few minutes. Can’t have him sit out another 5-7 minutes.

It's called not playing smart.
Could have/should have left it for trailing Hinson and an open 3. He never even considered giving it up. Dumb. But I love his effort and we need him to be as aggressive as he can be in this one.
