Pitt vs Mizzou Game Thread

Who handles the ball for Missouri?

Does Pitt ever bring pressure?
 
Last year's team, although not super talented, was just a great bunch for spacing. Elliot shooting, Burton on the iso, etc.

It will absolutely be a fight for the NIT with this bunch. Leggett isn't Burton, and Austin can't shoot or create off the dribble. And it'll all result in a lack of spacing for Hinson. Just not enough skill on this team. I thought we could be way tougher/faster/defensively better, but we're not.

Does anybody have a set of nuts on this team? They care more about getting it to Hinson than they do about getting it to the hoop.
 
Over half of our total shots are from 3. 53% of our shots total.

And we are shooting 28% from 3.

We did nothing well this game.

We lost the turnover margin, the rebound margin, we got outshot.

And our entire offensive gameplan is about launching 3s.

Just a terrible performance.

That's who we are. This isn't a good team. Bub is not even close to what this board hyped him up as.

Agree. We need to do more than shoot threes.
 
Meanwhile I was laughed at saying Mizzou was really well coached in the gambling thread…
Don’t ya know before the game the other team sucks and Pitt is the greatest then the game happens and the same guys say Pitt sucks. You’ve been on this board long enough to know that

Just awful. Any team with a pulse inside is going to give us fits. As a team, we can't count on the three ball like last year. We are in for a tough season.

Their coach coaches. 1-3-1. Offense/defense substitutions.Great play out of a timeout.

Honor was their point guard? Any thoughts if if we should have pressured a 5-11 ham and egger?

Bub and Ish were 1-12 from 3. That’s not going to happen again this year.

We just need to have something to go to that aren’t just 3’s. Bub creating is probably that answer, but guys need to catch and finish.

Missouri had a couple nice set plays for easy shots in crunch time. We were hoping a 3 goes in. That was the difference

Every sport: over reaction to each game.
 
As poorly as they played if they make some of the easy shots they missed they win this game. This team will grow from this a get better. Going through growing pains with true frosh guards and new guys who need to mesh together.

Pitt was 25-of-31 at the line (80%) which is encouraging, but then again 4 of the misses (the 2 front-ends by Fede and Hinson missing 2 late) were complete momentum killers.
 
No. But we don't have the horses. Fede can't score. Austin can't really either. Last 2 games were no indication for him. So, not enough of a balanced attack. I'd leave GDG in to see if he can give us something. Mizzou OTOH has guys contributing all over.
Yep. G. Diaz is gonna be playing more because he can provide some kind of offense. Fede is gonna lose a few minutes. He has zero offensive moves. Just dunks.
 
No idea who was laughing. Mizzou's play
was a result of great coaching. Their
play doesn't happen by accident,
Great coaching IMO.
I’m fairly certain Gates has gotten a ton of love over the years from the guys who really follow college hoops. He’s definitely a rising star.

Agree.Actually would have liked to have seen a little more Lowe. Felt he showed well.

Again, how do you go inside when you have no one to finish? We were on a nice run in the first half and had a 6 point lead when Fede got eaten alive on what should have been a dunk. Also Lowe threw him a nice oop pass that any decent 7 footer would have smacked down, but he couldn't get it. Our inside guys are just too weak to matter at both ends. This team needed Papa Kante, I am at least certain he would have helped at the defensive end. Fede is starting to remind me of Terrell Brown.
