*** Pitt vs Wisc - game thread ***

Definitively March levels of frustration and agony from this game.
The only thing he's not doing well is shooting threes. 1-5 on threes, 9-13 on twos, 10-10 from the line. Plus 7 rebounds.
We were screwed when they hit the three to take the three point lead. I told my wife they are going to start shooting threes instead of working it. That’s what they did and haven’t hit one
Wisconsin complaining about that massacre of a foul after getting every call tonight? Unbelievable.
They don't call fouls on guys in college basketball who play the way that he does.
And for that matter, they don't call them in the NBA that way either.
I know right?? Smh. That was crazy. Ish literally gets knocked to the ground and everyone from Wisconsin is shocked
He's averaging 21 / 5 / 2 and shooting 53% from the field, 45% from 3, and almost 100 percent from the line. Not only did he destroy our defense, he dropped 40 on top 25 Arizona.
He has 33 points and 7 rebounds tonight. And counting.
I wont make the excuse for the loss of Dunn and not being good enough with our depth which crippled our lead. Our starters lost the game down the stretch. And Lowe simply was no where near good enough today to beat them. We needed an A game from Lowe and we got a C game. And even a C game is stretching it with his turnover problems today. We lost the turnover battle and the rebound battle. Lowe has 4 turnovers, half the teams total today. Not good from our so called star.
One positive development is Delalic. He's looked pretty good and we are going to need him now.
Thought both teams looked strong. Pitt couldn’t get key rebounds in the 2nd half. Wisconsin got a really friendly whistle IMO. Of course losing Dunn is rough. I hope it’s not a long term injury. Look like teams that will make the dance.
That was the call that ripped Pitt’s heart out and was the biggest turning point in the game.
I mean he showed he could pass before. And he is now 50% on his small sample
Size of 3’s.
Would have been a great win - but we played well
Badgers just made more shots

Frustrating not to get this win after being up by 14 in the first half and having the lead throughout most of the game. These are the kind of games Pitt has to finish if they don’t want to be left out of the tournament like last season. With that being said, this is still a pretty good Pitt team and I think they will bounce back and beat Ohio St in Columbus on Friday.
Great effort. I really like this team. Just couldn’t quite beat wiscy and the officials
That whiff by the refs to not call a foul on the guy that elbowed Zach was the straw that broke the camel's back
What a shame. Up 14 in the 1st Half, you have to win it. I guess this Tonje kid is really good but good Lord, he shot layups against us. How can that happen? Never seen a below the rim guy dominate us on layups like that.
We gave up 68 points in the last 26 minutes. Wisconsin couldn't have done much better than that had they been playing one of those Bible School teams. I dont know what happened but that was as poor of a defensive display that you'll find.
Also, why not foul down 6 with 23 seconds left? Are we that afraid of NET? Chances of victory there is like 1 or 2% but you at least have to extend the game.
This totally sucks. Game was there for the W and playing for the NCAAT on Friday. Now we are 2 losses away from the NIT.

Yeah
Wisky was getting anticipatory whistles on every drive .
But - they found the range from 3 , which was the difference
Losing Dunn needs to be number one of the list.
This was a strong effort tonight. Dealt with some bullshit officiating, and the injury. We firmly belonged.
Talking about a lead 10 minutes into a game as something to maintain is sillyn
Remember what I said about playing in a ballroom is Southern West Virginia? No shot clock, no lights, no game feed. Hopefully this is the last year for this joke of a tournament. If you must play in a ballroom, go some place nice or just stay home and play at Nemacolin.
