Pitt vs. UNC Game Thread

[Protes]

Not a good start. Struggling badly against UNC's defense.

 

[Dointhatrag]

Unc hitting their threes. Weather the storm

 

[Pitt8189]

I hate watching this generation of player who always call for screens. Take your man off the dribble!

 

[Protes]

Extended minutes for the twins. Nice bucket from GDG but a horrible 3 from JDG.

 

[BreakingPitt]

Basically we just shoot 3's .

 

[Protes]

I'll be happy if we're within single digits at half.

 

[gary2]

Fede having a rough game. Play the twins more. Maybe we can confuse Bacot?

 

[BreakingPitt]

These commercials are like watching late night TV in the 90s.

 

[Fsgolfdr]

Pitt’s playing damn good ball . Other than Hinson what Pitt player would even see the court at UNC ? ( Burton off the bench )

 

[KennyTheKangaroo]

Is there an ACC network announcing crew that isn't unabashedly supportive of ACC bluebloods? Might as well just have UNC's radio feed

 

[BreakingPitt]

SOB. UNC is killing us with 3s.

This is so true.

 

[Protes]

Got my wish. Still within striking distance. Easily could have gotten away from us.

Pitt hanging in there playing pretty tough basketball but this is a good unc team

UNC played well. They shot the ball really well, both the midrange and from 3. They have us spread out really well and are going to be tough to beat when all of their main guys are "on" shooting the ball. We can hang our hat on forcing turnovers, winning the turnover battle, and making Bacot a turnover machine with the double team.

Burton played really well. Cummings played really well. The rest need to step up in the 2nd half. We are shooting 16% from 3 and are down 6. That needs to change. We have to make 3's to win.

Also, we need Hinson's A game in the 2nd half on both ends of the floor and on the glass. We are getting about a C- game from him thus far. He has to be better in all facets of the game next half.

 

[TIGER-PAUL]

So Hugley also officially 'redshirted' I guess?

 

[BreakingPitt]

Burton, Lets Go !!!

 

[Protes]

Gotta start hitting some 3's. I think Elliott's new tats have thrown off his shot. ;-)

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

I haven't been watching this and when I have been it's been on my phone, so maybe my perspective is skewed, but am I the only one who is annoyed by both teams wearing blue?

 

[BreakingPitt]

Hinson and Elliot invisible so far.

 

[Dointhatrag]

11% from 3 so far. 2 for 17

 

[Fsgolfdr]

Hinson and Elliot invisible so far.

No , their visible just not making their open shots .

 

[Protes]

Missed FT's now hurting us.

 

[Protes]

4 straight blown possessions. Dammit.

 

[Vader_Storm]

4 straight blown possessions. Dammit.

Make some 3s, and the entire ball game changes. Big 3 by Cummings, lead cut to 1. Keep the pressure on.

 

[BreakingPitt]

Burton 13-15 FG , unheard of .
UNC getting all the calls.

 

[h2p_5150]

That's a bullshit call on Hinson. The ACC is disgusting

 

[Protes]

That's a bullshit call on Hinson. The ACC is disgusting

HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Wow, what an awful foul call. That official needs to get kicked in the face for some bullshit like that.

 

[TIGER-PAUL]

bull!

 

[BreakingPitt]

Complaining about the refs is futile, but its bad.

 

[Vader_Storm]

3 point lead for Pitt. Common defense, finish it off.

 

[anon_d97v9o3a8b6xr]

Crazy that Burton is the only player in double figures for Pitt. I commend this team for playing so tough late in the game. UNC just not looking like a #25 team. Good potential win here.

 

[BreakingPitt]

Hinson 2 Big FT.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

No way this is happening right now.

 

[Protes]

Wow. Another terrible call. There's no way the ball goes out like that without Davis touching it.

 

[ECUPittfan]

You cant blame Capel. Cummings just had to stand there, instead he put it off his foot and out of bounds.
No way that is UNC ball though. Either way that is a terrible attempt at an inbounds. Cummings is choking it away right now.

 

[The Ole Six-Fiver]

hilarious if not vomit inducing that this was such a debated call. Trillion percent off the Carolina dude.

 

[BreakingPitt]

wtf, come on.

 

[Protes]

Biggest win in quite a looong time!!!! #H2P
