Pitt vs ND Gamethread

[docpanther26]

Going to assume this will be a very unpleasant halftime for Pitt. LETS GO!!!

 

[9nationalchampionships]

We are lacking a field general. Champ can score but someone needs to run this offense. Bring Femi in to start the 2nd half and see if anything changes.

 

[Straight Eye Larry]

wow we suck

 

[JD1976]

The offense looks stagnant, but most of these misses are wide open. Make shots!

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

We really need to play some better defense.

 

[Protes]

Miserably disappointing and frustrating 1st half. They've got their work cut out to get a W now.

 

[Pitt2006]

The walk on point guard knows his role. Pass to better shooters. They did not fall, but that’s what XJ needs to do.

 

[Franb]

the

Champagnie: 6-9, 2-4
Everyone else combined: 5-19, 2-11

Free throw percentage is 100, so there is that.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

You mean the guy who was playing so well that he got sat down in favor of Ezeakudo?

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

Do they just roll the balls out at practice and say have fun guys?

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Free throw percentage is 100, so there is that.

Us: 100%
Them: 33%

I assume that we are squashing them!

 

[Infinity Panther]

I guess you haven’t followed Jeff Capel’s coaching style the last 13 seasons

 

[Franb]

Us: 100%
Them: 33%

How can we lose!

I’m not sure what Capel is seeing sometimes

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Our bench guys have played a combined 22 minutes and are scorching Notre Dame for 0 points on 0-6 shooting.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

I’m not sure what Capel is seeing sometimes

Yeah, to be fair that didn't make any sense to me either. I can only assume that he was trying to send a message to Odukale and figured there were only a couple possessions left in the half, so if he was going to do it that was the time.

 

[Pittisit4me]

Pretty simple! Make shots and stop the other team from making them. We are doing neither!

 

[PittMan2003]

It was nice when we had a big three. Now it’s just champ

 

[Pittx9]

That half was beyond embarrassing. Doesn’t appear that anyone outside of Champagnie actually has any clue what they’re supposed to be doing on either end of the court.

 

[Franb]

Femi isn’t playing badly, though. 3 assists and 2 boards. And only 1 missed shot!

 

[9nationalchampionships]

The only silver lining to watching this on my computer is that after the game I can head over to Zaxbes for some treats.....oh wait, I am in PITTsburgh

Try Mellow Mushroom, they deliver.

Yeah, but I think the thing that Capel may have been displeased with is the way that he was just dribbling around to no effect on offense. When Johnson does that, people on here have a fit. Odukale was doing that quite a bit in the first half.

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

The mid-season spiral is upon us. I’m watching the Lakers-Celtics.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Good to see that we really tightened up the defense at half time.

 

[Protes]

This is disgusting. 🤬

 

[NCanton Panther]

Welp, the halftime pep talk didn’t work.

 

[Pittx9]

Toney and X don’t even look like decent D1 bench players anymore.

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

Well
Seasons over

 

[bwh05]

Linardi is going to move us to the 1st 4 out of the CBI after this debacle.

The annual Capel Collapse

 

[Franb]

He might have been better to put X back in. At least go down with your best.

 

[Protes]

Toney and X don’t even look like decent D1 bench players anymore.

Toney's stupid forced shot propelled this run.

 

[Straight Eye Larry]

You mean the guy who was playing so well that he got sat down in favor of Ezeakudo?

he looks like shit out there. it's pretty clear.

 

[Pittisit4me]

Wake loss has proven to be a mortal blow!

 

[BPKY]

The 2 play Pitt offense. Stand around and watch someone miss a three. Stand around and watch someone drive to the hoop and toss up a prayer.

 

[NCanton Panther]

Well
Seasons over

I must be confusing you with another poster who was jumping all over PittPoker in another thread for over-reacting.

 

[Pittx9]

Toney's stupid forced shot propelled this run.

He, X, and AKC all need to sit for a really long time. Gotta send a message.

 

[infinitypanther]

Not sure why but this team mailed it in after the Duke game. Hard to imagine them winning too many more games this season. Just look completely disinterested.

You gotta start to wonder about Capel too. I know the rebuild was difficult but the way his teams collapse down the stretch every year is a problem.

 

[DruidTM]

I’m sorry this is both inexcusable and embarrassing.
